DCL_Commands_and_Utilities

   In DCL commands, you can select either of the following styles
   for parsing file specifications:

   o  Traditional filenames are allowed on both ODS-2 and ODS-5
      volumes.

   o  Extended filenames are allowed on ODS-5 but not on ODS-2
      volumes.

   Some OpenVMS commands and utilities have new qualifiers to
   control the interpretation and display of file specifications.

                                  NOTE

      DCL lexical functions use the DEC-Multinational character
      set, which is different from the ISOLatin-1 character set
      used for file names on an ODS-5 disk. This can lead to
      unexpected results if, for example, you use the DCL function
      F$EDIT to upcase a filename.

   Some DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities have been specifically
   modified to take advantage of all the features of extended file
   names. These utilities and commands accept and handle extended
   file specifications without error and without modifying their
   expected case.

   Other DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities have had little or
   no modification to take advantage of extended file names.
   These utilities and commands are expected to handle most of
   the attributes of extended file specifications (such as new
   characters and deep directory structures) correctly.

   Extended File Specifications Support fully defines the different
   levels of support for extended file names provided by DCL
   commands and OpenVMS utilities in OpenVMS Version 7.2 and later.

   The following DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities provide full
   support for extended file names:

      ANALYZE /AUDIT
      ANALYZE /DISK
      ANALYZE /RMS
      BACKUP
      CONVERT
      CONVERT /RECLAIM
      COPY
      CREATE /DIRECTORY
      DELETE
      DIRECTORY
      DUMP
      EDIT /ACL
      EXCHANGE /NETWORK
      FDL
      PURGE
      RECOVER/RMS
      RENAME
      SEARCH
      SET SECURITY
      SYSMAN
      TYPE

The following table lists the new features in DCL to support
Extended File Specifications.
