Qualifiers

/CONCURRENT (D)
   Specifies whether this element can have multiple reservations.
   After you have created the element, you grant or deny concurrent
   access by using the MODIFY ELEMENT command.

/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.

/HISTORY="string"
   Establishes the history attribute for the element. If an element
   has the history attribute, its history is included in the file
   when you retrieve it with the FETCH or RESERVE command.

   The quoted string specifies the format of the history. The quoted
   string must contain the characters #H or #B (lowercase is allowed)
   and can contain other printing characters. To include a quotation
   mark in the output history string, type it twice (""). To include
   a number sign (#) in the output history string, type it twice
   (##).

/INPUT[=file-specification]
   Specifies the file to be used to create the element. When you
   specify an alternative location for the input file, CMS deletes
   the file from the alternative location (unless you specify /KEEP
   or /RESERVE). If you do not specify this qualifier, CMS searches
   your current default directory for a file with the same name as
   specified with the element expression parameter on the command
   line. Wildcards are allowed.

   CMS must be able to create a unique element for each file in the
   input file list. Thus, if you use wildcards in the /INPUT file
   specification to specify more than one input file, you must also
   use wildcards in the element-name parameter.

/KEEP
   Controls whether CMS deletes all versions of the file used to
   create the new element. If you specify /KEEP, CMS does not delete
   the file.

/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.

/NOTES="string"
   Establishes the notes attribute for the element. If an element has
   the notes attribute, notes are appended to the lines of the file
   when it is retrieved by the FETCH or RESERVE command.

   The quoted string specifies the format of the note. The quoted
   string can contain text or the characters #G (or #g), or both. If
   you specify /NOTES, you must also specify /POSITION.

/POSITION=n
   Establishes the position attribute; that is, the character
   position where the note generated by the /NOTES qualifier begins
   on the line. The value n is required and must be an integer in
   the range 1 to 511. The /NOTES qualifier is required with the
   /POSITION qualifier.

   The note is placed to the right of the text of the line. If the
   length of the line is less than n, the note appears at position n.
   If the length of the line is greater than or equal to n, the note
   is placed at the next tab stop after the end of the line. (Tab
   stops are at position 9 and every eight characters thereafter.)

/REFERENCE_COPY/NOREFERENCE_COPY
   Controls whether CMS maintains a reference copy of the element.
   You must have established a reference copy directory.

   The presence of the reference copy attribute for an element is
   inherited from the library, that is, if a reference copy directory
   is established for the library, by default, the attribute is
   enabled for the element. You can override the reference copy
   attribute by specifying /NOREFERENCE_COPY.

   If a reference copy directory has been established for the CMS
   library, CMS creates a reference copy of the new element and
   updates the reference copy directory each time you create a new
   main line generation of that element. When CMS places a file in
   the reference copy directory, it also deletes any earlier versions
   of that file in the reference copy directory.

/RESERVE
   Controls whether the new element is to be reserved after it is
   created. When you specify /RESERVE, CMS does not delete the file
   used to create the element. Generation 1 of the newly created
   element is automatically reserved.

   If you omit both the /RESERVE and the /KEEP qualifiers, CMS
   deletes all versions of the file used to create the element.

/REVIEW
   Specifies that new generations of the element are marked for
   review. By default, new generations of the element are marked
   for review only if the reserved generation was either rejected
   or has a review pending. If you specify CREATE ELEMENT/REVIEW,
   generation 1 of the element is also marked for review.

   You can change the review attribute with the MODIFY ELEMENT
   command.

/BINARY
   Controls whether CMS has to create an element of type binary 
   or text. When you specify this qualifier, CMS creates the element 
   in binary format irrespective of file properties.

   If you do not specify this qualifier, CMS decides on its own 
   whether to create binary element or text element depending on 
   file properties.
