Qualifiers


/DELETE
      /DELETE=(verb[,...])

   Specifies /DELETE mode to delete verbs from the command table you
   are modifying.

   You can use the /DELETE qualifier to delete a verb in either
   your process command table or in a command table file specified
   with the /TABLE qualifier. If you do not use the /TABLE qualifier
   to specify an alternate command table, the default is to delete
   verbs from your process command table. If you do not use the
   /OUTPUT qualifier to specify an output file, the default is to
   return the modified command table to your process.

   The verb specifies a verb to be deleted. If you specify two
   or more verbs, separate them with commas and enclose the list
   in parentheses. If you specify only one verb, you can omit the
   parentheses.

   You cannot use the /LISTING, /OBJECT, or /REPLACE qualifiers in
   /DELETE mode.


/LISTING
      /LISTING[=filespec]
      /NOLISTING

   Controls whether an output listing is created and optionally
   provides an output file specification for the listing file.
   A listing file contains a listing of the command definitions
   along with any error messages. The listing file is similar to a
   compiler listing.

   If you specify the /LISTING qualifier and omit the file
   specification, output is written to the default device and
   directory; the listing file will have the same name as the first
   command definition file and a file type of .LIS.

   You can use the /LISTING qualifier only in /OBJECT or /REPLACE
   mode; you cannot create a listing in /DELETE mode. In /OBJECT and
   /REPLACE modes, the default is /NOLISTING.


/OBJECT
      /OBJECT[=filespec]

   Specifies /OBJECT mode to create an object module from a
   command definition file and optionally provides an object file
   specification. You cannot use the /OBJECT qualifier to create an
   object module from a command definition that contains the IMAGE
   keyword.

   You can specify only one command definition file when you use SET
   COMMAND/OBJECT.

   If you specify the /OBJECT qualifier and omit the file
   specification, output is written to the default device and
   directory; the object file will have the same name as the input
   file and a file type .OBJ.

   You cannot use the /DELETE, /OUTPUT, /REPLACE, or /TABLE
   qualifiers in /OBJECT mode.

                                  NOTE

      When compiling very large command definition (CLD) files,
      you may encounter the following error:

      %CDU-F-INTNODESPACE, Internal error: node space exhausted

      The default value of virtual memory allocated by the SET
      COMMAND/OBJECT command is 384KB. This value may not be
      sufficient to process large CLD files. To increase this
      size, use the CDU$TABLE_SPACE logical name to specify a
      larger value.

      For example:

      $ DEFINE CDU$TABLE_SPACE 2048


/OUTPUT
      /OUTPUT[=filespec]
      /NOOUTPUT

   Controls where the modified command table should be placed. If
   you provide an output file specification, the modified command
   table is written to the specified file. If you do not provide an
   output file specification, the edited command table replaces your
   process table. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier indicates that no output
   is to be generated.

   You can specify an output file specification with the /OUTPUT
   qualifier only when you also use the /TABLE=filespec qualifier to
   provide the input tables. The default file type is .EXE.

   You can use the /OUTPUT qualifier only in /DELETE or /REPLACE
   mode; you cannot use the /OUTPUT qualifier in /OBJECT mode.

   In /DELETE and /REPLACE mode, the default is /OUTPUT with no file
   specification.


/REPLACE
   Specifies /REPLACE mode to add or replace verbs in the command
   table you are modifying.

   You can use the /REPLACE qualifier to modify either the process
   command table or a command table file specified with the /TABLE
   qualifier. If you do not use the /TABLE qualifier to specify an
   alternate command table, the default is to modify your process
   command table. If you do not use the /OUTPUT qualifier to specify
   an output file, the default is to return the modified command
   table to your process.

   You cannot use the /OBJECT or /DELETE qualifiers in /REPLACE
   mode.

   If you do not explicitly specify /DELETE, /OBJECT, or /REPLACE
   mode, the default is /REPLACE.


/TABLE
      /TABLE=[filespec]

   Specifies the command table that is to be modified. If you
   specify the /TABLE qualifier and omit the file specification,
   the current process command table is modified. If you include a
   file specification, the specified command table is modified. The
   default file type is .EXE.

   If you use the /TABLE qualifier to provide an input command table
   file, you should also use the /OUTPUT qualifier to provide an
   output table file; otherwise, the modified command table will
   be written to your process and will replace your process command
   table.

   You can only use the /TABLE qualifier in /DELETE or /REPLACE
   mode; you cannot use the /TABLE qualifier in /OBJECT mode.

   In /REPLACE and /DELETE mode, the default is /TABLE with no input
   file specification.
