Qualifiers

/APPEND
   Controls whether CMS appends the history and source file listing
   to an existing file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND
   and the output file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you
   do not provide an output file specification (see the description
   for /OUTPUT), CMS searches your default directory for a file with
   the element file name and the file type .ANN.

/CONFIRM
   Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
   transaction.

   When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS
   prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1,
   CMS executes the transaction.  If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0,
   or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type 
   any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an 
   acceptable response.

   CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.

/FORMAT=(data-format,data-partition)
   Controls whether the history and source file listing is formatted,
   and specifies the type of formatting. You can specify one or both
   formatting parameters in any order.

   data-format

   Specifies the type of format. Possible values for data formats 
   include:   ASCII (Default), DECIMAL, HEXADECIMAL, and OCTAL.  

   data-partition

   Specifies the type of data partition. Possible values for data
   partitions include:  BYTE, LONGWORD, RECORDS (Default), and WORD.

/FULL
   Directs CMS to include the following information about the file
   used to create each generation:

   o  Creation time
   o  Revision time
   o  Revision number
   o  Record format
   o  Record attributes

   CMS also indicates deleted lines in the source listing. Each
   set of one or more deleted lines is identified by a count of the
   deleted lines.

/GENERATION[=generation-expression]
   Specifies a particular generation of the element to be annotated.
   If you omit /GENERATION, CMS annotates the most recent generation
   on the main line of descent.

   The history contains a description of every generation of the
   element, including those created after the specified generation.
   (Generations created after the specified generation are not marked
   with an asterisk.)

/LOG (D)
   Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
   on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
   successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
   /NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
   warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
   of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.

/MERGE=generation-expression
   Combines two generations of an element and creates a single
   file that contains the annotated listing. The parameter on the
   /MERGE qualifier specifies the generation that is merged into the
   retrieved generation. This command creates a file that contains
   the text common to both generations and the changes made to both
   generations. When changes that are not identical are made in
   the same position of the common ancestor, the changes from both
   generations are included in the resulting file and are marked as a
   conflict. By default, generations are not merged.

/OCCLUDE[=option,...]
   Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
   object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
   search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
   associated with the name of the object. The options field can
   contain the following keywords:

      ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS)
      ELEMENT (D)
      NOELEMENT
      GROUP (D)
      NOGROUP
      CLASS (D)
      NOCLASS
      NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS)

   You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
   [NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords.

   By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
   selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

/OUTPUT[=file-specification]
   Directs CMS to write output to the specified file. CMS creates a
   new file if you do not specify /APPEND. If you omit the /OUTPUT
   qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT but do not provide a file
   specification), CMS creates a file with the element file name and
   the file type .ANN. Wildcards are allowed.

   If you annotate more than one element (by specifying wildcards or
   a group name for the element expression parameter), and you do not
   specify wildcards in the output file specification, CMS creates
   successive versions of the file indicated by /OUTPUT.
