Command_Qualifiers

/GLOBAL
  Defines the variable as being accessible to all tests in all
  collections. You cannot specify both /LOCAL and /GLOBAL with the
  same CREATE VARIABLE command. The default is /LOCAL.

/LOCAL
  Defines the variable as being accessible only to an individual
  test that references it in its test description. The default is
  /LOCAL. You cannot specify both /LOCAL and /GLOBAL with the same
  CREATE VARIABLE command.

/LOG
  /LOG (D)
  /NOLOG

  Controls whether Digital Test Manager displays informational and
  success messages on your screen.

/LOGICAL
  Defines the variable as a OpenVMS logical name. You cannot specify
  both /LOGICAL and /SYMBOL with the same CREATE VARIABLE command.
  The default is /SYMBOL.

/NUMERIC
  Used only with the /SYMBOL qualifier, the /NUMERIC qualifier
  defines the symbol type as a numeric value. Use this qualifier
  to define a quoted symbol value as numeric. You cannot specify
  both /NUMERIC and /STRING with the same CREATE VARIABLE command.
  If the variable value is not enclosed in quotation marks (" "),
  the variable type is defined as a numeric value.

/STRING
  Used with the /SYMBOL qualifier, the /STRING qualifier defines
  a symbol type as a text string. Use this qualifier to define an
  unquoted symbol value as a text string. You cannot specify both
  /NUMERIC and /STRING with the same CREATE VARIABLE command. If the
  variable value is enclosed in quotation marks (" "),  the variable
  type is defined as a text string.

/SYMBOL
  Defines the variable to be a OpenVMS symbol. When you specify a
  variable as a symbol with the /SYMBOL qualifier, you must further
  define it as either a numeric value (with the /NUMERIC qualifier)
  or a text string (with the /STRING qualifier). You cannot specify
  both /LOGICAL and /SYMBOL with the same CREATE VARIABLE command.
  The default is /SYMBOL.
