Qualifiers

/CONFIRM (D)
   Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation prior to
   deleting any invalid reference copies during a VERIFY/REPAIR
   operation. In some cases, however, if CMS finds invalid reference
   copies (for example, if there is one valid reference copy and the
   remaining reference copies are invalid), it automatically deletes
   the invalid copies without prompting for confirmation.

   If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1, CMS executes the transaction. If
   you type NO or QUIT or press RETURN, 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.

/FILE_ATTRIBUTES
   Specifies that, for element data files and reference copies, only 
   problems with file attributes are to be repaired. By default all 
   problems are repaired.

   This qualifier is particularly useful when files are reported as
   not closed by CMS, for example because file protection has been 
   changed in OpenVMS, but there may also be more significant 
   problems, such as duplicate or incorrect files. By using this 
   qualifier, the less significant problems can be fixed, enabling 
   any other problems to be more easily identified.

/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.

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

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

   If you do not specify an element expression on the VERIFY command,
   the default is /OCCLUDE=NONE. If you do specify an element
   expression, the default is /OCCLUDE=ALL.

/OUTPUT=file-specification
   Directs CMS to write to the specified file. If an incomplete file
   specification is given, unspecified parts are provided from the
   default filename VERIFY.LOG in the default directory.

/RECOVER
   Controls whether the VERIFY command cancels an incomplete
   transaction. You use the /RECOVER qualifier when a transaction
   with the library is incomplete and the rollback mechanism does not
   automatically cancel the command.  For example, you must use
   the /RECOVER qualifier if the OpenVMS system fails while a
   CMS command is updating the library.

   If a CMS command is terminated and the library is left in an
   inconsistent state, CMS recognizes that the last transaction
   was incomplete and automatically initiates command rollback 
   to return the library to a valid format.

   If you have set up a restrictive protection scheme and a system
   failure occurs during a CMS transaction and leaves your library
   in an inconsistent state, the VERIFY/RECOVER command should be
   executed by the same person who was using CMS at the time of the
   system failure or by a person with sufficient privileges.

/REPAIR
   Controls whether or not the VERIFY command repairs the CMS
   library and files in the CMS library. You should use the /REPAIR
   qualifier if VERIFY issues a message concerning one of the
   following conditions:

   o  The CMS library has inconsistencies that CMS indicates are
      repairable.
   o  Element data files in the library were not closed by CMS.
   o  The checksum of elements in the library is invalid.
   o  Generations in the library have invalid maximum record size.
   o  A data block was not found on pass 1.
   o  The reference copy for an element is missing.
   o  A reference copy is found for an element with the /NOREFERENCE_
      COPY qualifier.
   o  There are duplicate reference copies for an element.
   o  The reference copy of an element is invalid.

   If reference copies need repairing, VERIFY/REPAIR creates or
   deletes files as necessary to correct the information in the
   reference copy directory.

   If a file was not closed by CMS, VERIFY/REPAIR repairs the OpenVMS
   RMS file header so that the file can be successfully verified. If
   the checksum of a file does not correspond to the contents of the
   file, VERIFY/REPAIR recalculates the checksum so that the library
   can be verified.

   If any of these conditions exist, data may have been changed in
   the library by methods other than the normal updating of the
   library with CMS commands. For example, a file may have been
   opened and modified with a text editor. You may want to find out
   why the files could not be verified.

/WARN_ON_REPAIR
   Specifies that messages indicating that problems have been repaired
   should be output as warnings. By default, these messages are 
   informational messages. When used with the /NOLOG qualifier, only
   messages indicating successful repairs and errors will be displayed.
