Qualifiers


/FORMAT
      /FORMAT=fmt-name
      /FORMAT=DDIF (default)

   Specifies the format of your input file. The input formats that
   you can use with the CDA Viewer depend on the CDA converters
   installed on your system. The default input format is DDIF. Input
   formats supported by converters installed with the CDA Base
   Services for DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS and their default file
   extensions are as follows:

   Input Format   File Extension

   DDIF           .DDIF
   DTIF           .DTIF
   TEXT           .TXT

   VSI's CDA Converter Library provides additional converters that
   support display of other popular file formats. If you have the
   CDA Converter Library Version 2.2 or later installed on your
   system, see HELP CDA_Converters for more information, or contact
   your system manager for a complete list of input converters
   available on your system.


/HEIGHT
      /HEIGHT=nn

   Specifies the height of the page in number of characters. If
   you specify the /OVERRIDE_FORMAT qualifier, or if the document
   being viewed has no inherent format, this page height is used.
   On the DECwindows Motif display, the default height is 66 lines,
   which is equivalent to the default page height of 11 inches.
   On character cell displays, the page height defaults to your
   terminal's screen height. However, if you use the /OUTPUT
   qualifier, the page height depends on the page height of your
   document.


/INTERFACE
      /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS
      /INTERFACE=CHARACTER_CELL (default)

   Specifies the type of display you are using.


/OPTIONS
      /OPTIONS=options-filename

   Specifies a text file that contains processing options applied
   to the input file while it is processed for display. The default
   file extension for an options file is .CDA$OPTIONS.


/OUTPUT
      /OUTPUT=output-filename
      /NOOUTPUT (default)

   Specifies a file that you want to receive the output instead of
   having it displayed on the screen. You cannot use this qualifier
   when you have specified the /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS qualifier.

   If you specify /OUTPUT but you do not specify a file name, the
   CDA Viewer creates a file with the same name as your input
   file but with a file type of LIS. If you specify the /OUTPUT
   qualifier, you cannot also specify the /PAGE qualifier.


/OVERRIDE_FORMAT
      /OVERRIDE_FORMAT
      /NOOVERRIDE_FORMAT (default)

   Controls whether the CDA Viewer overrides the format of your
   document or uses the formatting information stored in your
   document.


/PAGE
      /PAGE
      /NOPAGE (default)

   On a character cell terminal, this qualifier determines whether
   the output display of the CDA Viewer pauses after displaying
   each page of your file. If you specify the /PAGE qualifier,
   you can page backward and forward, or jump to the top or
   bottom of the document. Note that if you specify the /PAGE
   qualifier, you cannot specify either the /OUTPUT qualifier or
   the /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS qualifier.


/WIDTH
      /WIDTH=nn

   Specifies the number of characters per line. If you specify the
   /OVERRIDE_FORMAT qualifier, or if the document being viewed has
   no inherent format, this page width is used. On the DECwindows
   Motif display, the default width is 85 characters, which is
   equivalent to the default page width of 8.5 inches. On character
   cell displays, the page width defaults to your terminal's screen
   width. However, if you use the /OUTPUT qualifier, the default is
   132 columns.
