Qualifiers


/ALL
      /ALL (default)

   Specifies that the values of the /SCOPE qualifier pertain both
   to the translation of the first token on a command line and to
   general symbol substitution.

   The /ALL qualifier is incompatible with the /GENERAL or the /VERB
   qualifier.


/GENERAL
   Specifies that the values of the /SCOPE qualifier pertain to the
   translation of all symbols except the first token on a command
   line.

   The /GENERAL qualifier is incompatible with the /ALL or the /VERB
   qualifier.


/SCOPE
      /SCOPE=(keyword,...)

   Controls access to local and global symbols. Lets you treat
   symbols as being undefined. Possible keywords are as follows:

   NOLOCAL    Causes all local symbols defined in outer procedure
              levels to be treated as being undefined by the current
              procedure and by all inner procedure levels.

   LOCAL      Removes any symbol translation limit set by the current
              procedure level.

   NOGLOBAL   Causes all global symbols to be inaccessible to the
              current procedure level and to all inner procedure
              levels unless otherwise changed.

   GLOBAL     Restores access to all global symbols.


/VERB
   Specifies that the values of the /SCOPE qualifier pertain
   to the translation of the first token on a command line as a
   symbol before processing only. It does not affect general symbol
   substitution.

                                  NOTE

      Caution must be used if the SET SYMBOL/VERB/SCOPE command
      is used more than once in a command procedure. Because
      DCL uses the translation behavior when looking for a
      label or subroutine, execution may be different running
      in one mode than in another. VSI recommends that the SET
      SYMBOL/VERB/SCOPE command be used once as part of the
      command procedure setup and left in that mode for the
      duration of the procedure.

   The /VERB qualifier is incompatible with the /ALL or the /GENERAL
   qualifier.
