     $

     Example of a PATCH/ABSOLUTE/NONEW_VERSION command. Note the
     error messages that are returned when the command tries to
     expand the file, and when the commands UPDATE and EXIT are
     performed, that is, (file) "being overwritten."

   3.$ PATCH AVERAGE /JOURNAL=TEST /OUTPUT=TEST

     This command invokes PATCH for an interactive PATCH session
     with the image file AVERAGE.EXE. The journal file and output
     image file created by this session are both named TEST and
     reside in the default device and directory. The journal file
     has a file type of JNL, and the output image file has a file
     type of .EXE.

   4.$ PATCH /UPDATE=(100,102) @ORION
     $

     This PATCH command executes the command procedure ORION.COM.
     The /UPDATE qualifier requests that only the patches identified
     by the ECO levels 100 and 102, contained in ORION.COM, be
     processed. The first record in ORION.COM must specify the
     input image file. The second DCL prompt ($) indicates that
     the patches were successfully applied.
