Qualifiers

/APPEND
   Controls whether CMS appends the command output 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),
   the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

/BRIEF
   The /BRIEF qualifier displays only element names. 

/FORMAT="string"
   Controls whether the output of the SHOW ELEMENT command is
   formatted. You can use the /FORMAT qualifier in combination
   with the /OUTPUT qualifier to set up a command file. With this
   command file, you can execute a CMS command or a DCL command on a
   specified set of elements (such as all elements in a group).

   The format string can contain printing characters; within the
   format string, CMS recognizes #E (and #e) as the element format
   parameter. For each line of output (one line per element), CMS
   displays the format string and replaces each occurrence of #E (or
   #e) with the element name. To include a number sign in the output
   line, type it twice (##). When you specify /FORMAT, CMS does
   not generate the heading normally produced by the SHOW ELEMENT
   command.

   To set up a command file, you specify a format string consisting
   of a command, including the dollar sign ($) prompt and the
   element format parameter (for example, /FORMAT="$ CMS FETCH #E").
   Use the /OUTPUT qualifier to direct the output to a command file.
   When you execute the SHOW ELEMENT command with these qualifiers,
   CMS creates a command file containing a list of FETCH commands
   that use each element in the denoted set as parameters.

/FULL
   The /FULL qualifier displays the name, creation remark, and the 
   attributes in effect for the specified elements. 

/INTERMEDIATE
   The /INTERMEDIATE qualifier displays the name and creation remark 
   associated with the element.

/MEMBER
   Lists the element name, creation remark, and the names of any
   groups to which the element belongs.

/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)
      ELEMENT (D)
      NOELEMENT
      GROUP (D)
      NOGROUP
      NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP)

   You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
   [NO]ELEMENT and [NO]GROUP 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, except for any
   warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
   SYS$ERROR. 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 directs output to
   the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
   file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
   component from the default specification.
