 modified.  Ace specifies an access control entry.  If no ACE is
 specified, the entire ACL is affected.  (Note that security alarm
 ACEs are always placed at the beginning of the ACL.)

/AFTER=ace

 Places the access control entries specified with the /ACL qualifier
 after the access control entry specified with /AFTER.  By default,
 access control entries are added to the beginning of the access control
 list.  (Note that security alarm ACEs are always placed at the beginning
 of the ACL.)

/BEFORE[=time]

 Modifies only the ACLs of those files dated before the specified time.
 You can specify time as an absolute time, a combination of absolute
 and delta times, or one of the following keywords:  TODAY (default),
 TOMORROW, YESTERDAY.  Compatible only with /OBJECT_TYPE=FILE.

/CREATED

 Modifies the ACLs of files selected according to their creation date.
 Relevant only with the /BEFORE and /SINCE qualifiers.  Compatible
 only with /OBJECT_TYPE=FILE.

/DEFAULT

 Creates a new ACL using the default ACEs of the parent (not the
 default) directory. For a directory file, the /DEFAULT qualifier
 propagates the entire ACL (except for ACEs with the NOPROPAGATE
 options) so that a particular access protection can be propagated
 throughout a directory tree.  For all other files, the /DEFAULT
 qualifier propagates the DEFAULT option ACE(s) in the ACL of the
 parent directory to the ACL of the specified file(s).  The /DEFAULT
 qualifier is compatible only with /OBJECT_TYPE=FILE.

/DELETE

 Deletes the access control entries specified with the /ACL qualifier.
 If no access control entry is specified with /ACL, the entire access
 control list is deleted (excluding ACEs specified with the PROTECTED
 option).

/EXCLUDE=(file-spec...)

 Excludes the specified file(s) from the operation.  Wildcard
 characters are supported for file specifications.  However, you
 cannot use relative version numbers to exclude a specific version.
 Compatible only with /OBJECT_TYPE=FILE.

/LIKE=(OBJECT_TYPE=type,OBJECT_NAME=name)

 Deletes the access control list of the specified object and replaces
 it with the access control list of the OBJECT specified with /LIKE.
 (The source and destination objects do not have to be the same type for
 this qualifier.)

/LOG

 /NOLOG (default)
 Displays the specification of each object whose ACL is modified as the
 command executes.

/NEW

 Deletes the access control list of the specified object and replaces
 it with the access control entry specified with the /ACL qualifier.

/OBJECT_TYPE(=keyword)

 Specifies the type of the object whose ACL is being modified.  Possible
 keywords are:  FILE (default), DEVICE, GROUP_GLOBAL_SECTION,
 LOGICAL_NAME_TABLE, and SYSTEM_GLOBAL_SECTION.

/REPLACE=(ace...)

 Deletes the access control entries specified with the /ACL qualifier
 and replaces them with the access control entries specified with
 /REPLACE.

/SINCE[=time]

 Modifies only the ACLs of those files dated after the specified time.
 You can specify time as an absolute time, a combination of absolute and
 delta times, or one of the following keywords:  TODAY (default),
 TOMORROW, and YESTERDAY.  Compatible only with /OBJECT_TYPE=FILE.

COMMAND

Processes command definition language (CLD) files and an input
command table.  Produces an output set of command tables.  See
Section CDU for more information on the Set Command Utility.

Format
  SET COMMAND [file-spec,...]

Additional information available:

/DELETE/LISTING/OBJECT/OUTPUT/REPLACE/TABLE

Parameters

file-spec
 Specification of a command language definition file.  The default
 file type is CLD.  Multiple file specifications and wildcard
 characters are allowed.  Separate multiple file specifications
 with commas or plus signs.

Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/DELETE=(verb-name,...)

 Deletes the specified verb (command) or verb synonym from the
 command tables.  A command remains in effect until the verb name
 and all synonyms are deleted.  Cannot be used with /LISTING,
 /OBJECT, or /REPLACE.

/LISTING[=file-spec]

 /NOLISTING (default)
 Writes to file-spec a list of line numbers, source statements,
 and error messages.  The file type of file-spec defaults to LIS;
 the file name of file-spec defaults to a file in your default
 directory with the same name as the input CLD file (or the
 first CLD file).  Can only be used with /OBJECT and /REPLACE.

/OBJECT[=file-spec]

 Produces an object module containing those commands defined
 in the CLD file.  The CLD file must not contain any IMAGE
 statements.  The file type of file-spec defaults to OBJ; the file
 name of file-spec defaults to a file in your default directory
 with the same name as the input CLD file (or the first CLD file).
 Cannot be used with /DELETE, /OUTPUT, /REPLACE, or /TABLE.

/OUTPUT[=file-spec]

 /NOOUTPUT
 Puts the output command tables in file-spec.  The file type of
 file-spec defaults to EXE.  If file-spec is omitted or /OUTPUT is
 not specified, your process command tables are updated.  If
 file-spec is specified, you must also specify /TABLE.  Cannot be
 used with /OBJECT.

/REPLACE

 Applies the commands in the input CLD file to the input command
 tables.  Verb names and synonyms are added where they do not
 already exist; where verb names and synonyms already exist, they
 are replaced.  Cannot be used with /DELETE or /OBJECT.  The /REPLACE
 qualifier is assumed if neither /DELETE, /OBJECT, nor /REPLACE is
 specified.

/TABLE[=file-spec]

 Processes the command table in file-spec.  The file type of
 file-spec defaults to EXE.  If file-spec is omitted or /TABLE is
 not specified, your process command tables are used as input.
 Cannot be used with /OBJECT.

CONTROL

Enables or disables CTRL/Y, which interrupts a command and returns you
to DCL command level, and/or CTRL/T, which momentarily interrupts a
command to print a line of statistics. The default keyword is Y.

Format
 SET CONTROL = (T,Y)

 CTRL/C responds as a CTRL/Y unless the current image has a special
 action routine defined for CTRL/C.

DAY

Sets the default day type specified in the user authorization file
(UAF) for the current day.

Format
 SET DAY

 Requires OPER privilege.

Additional information available:

/DEFAULT/LOG/PRIMARY/SECONDARY

 SET DEFAULT partial-file-spec

Additional information available:

partial-file-spec
 Device and/or directory name. A device name must be terminated with a
 colon. A directory name must be enclosed in brackets. A logical name
 can be used for the specification but it must constitute at least the
 device part of the specification. The minus sign wildcard can be used

 Specifies the base process priority at which jobs are initiated from a
 batch queue. (You must stop and restart output queues to change the
 symbiont priority for printer, terminal, or server queues.) The value
 of n can be from 0 through 15.

/BLOCK_LIMIT=([lower,]upper)

 /NOBLOCK_LIMIT
 Restricts the size of print jobs that can be executed on a printer or
 terminal queue. The lower parameter specifies the minimum number of
 blocks that will be accepted by the queue for a print job. The upper
 parameter specifies the maximum number of blocks that will be accepted
 by the queue for a print job. If a job contains fewer blocks than the
 number specified by the lower parameter or more blocks than the number
 specified by the upper parameter, the job remains pending until the
 block limit for the queue is changed. To specify only the lower
 parameter, you must use two sets of quotation marks ("") in place of
 the upper specifier.

/CHARACTERISTICS=(characteristic,...)

 /NOCHARACTERISTICS
 Specifies one or more characteristics for processing jobs on the
 queue. Use the SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command to display queue
 characteristics. The queue must have all the characteristics specified
 for a job or the job remains pending.

/CPUDEFAULT=time

 specified as: delta time, 0, NONE, or INFINITE. Both the value 0 and
 the keyword INFINITE allow unlimited CPU time (subject to the
 restrictions imposed by the /CPUMAXIMUM qualifier or the user
 authorization file). The keyword NONE specifies that no time limit is
 needed.

/CPUMAXIMUM=time

 Specifies the maximum CPU time limit for batch jobs. The /CPUMAXIMUM
 qualifier overrides the time limit specified in the user authorization
 file (UAF). Time can be specified as: delta time, 0, NONE, or
 INFINITE. Both the value 0 and the keyword INFINITE allow unlimited
 CPU time (subject to the restrictions imposed by the /CPUMAXIMUM
 qualifier or the user authorization file). The keyword NONE specifies
 that no time limit is needed.

/DEFAULT=(option,...)

 /NODEFAULT
 Sets defaults for the following PRINT options so that you do not have
 to specify them with the PRINT commands:

 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]BURST[=keyword]   | Specifies where to print burst pages (flag |
 |                       | pages that are printed over the paper's    |
 |                       | perforations for easy identification of    |
 |                       | individual files in a print job.) The      |
 |                       | keyword ALL (the default) places burst     |
 |                       | pages before each printed file in the      |
 |                       | job. The keyword ONE places a burst page   |
 |                       | before the first printed file in the job.  |
 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]FEED              | Specifies whether a form-feed is           |
 |                       | automatically inserted at the end of a     |
 |                       | page.                                      |
 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]FLAG[=keyword]    | Specifies where to print flag pages        |
 |                       | (containing the job entry number, the      |
 |                       | name of the user submitting the job, and   |
 |                       | so on). The keyword ALL (the default)      |
 |                       | places flag pages before each printed      |
 |                       | file in the job. The keyword ONE places a  |
 |                       | flag page before the first printed file    |
 |                       | in the job.                                |
 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | FORM=type             | Specifies the default form for a printer,  |
 |                       | terminal, or server queue.  If a job is    |
 |                       | not submitted with an explicit form        |
 |                       | definition, then this form will be used to |
 |                       | process the job.  The system-wide default  |
 |                       | form, form=0, is the default value for     |
 |                       | this keyword.  See also /FORM_MOUNTED.     |
 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]TRAILER[=keyword] | Specifies where to print trailer pages.    |
 |                       | The keyword ALL (the default) places       |
 |                       | trailer pages after each printed file in   |
 |                       | the job. The keyword ONE places a trailer  |
 |                       | page after the last printed file in the    |
 |                       | job.                                       |
 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+

 If you specify any of the keywords BURST, FLAG, TRAILER without
 specifying a value, the value ALL is used by default.

/DISABLE_SWAPPING

 /NODISABLE_SWAPPING
 Allows swapping of the batch jobs.

/ENABLE_GENERIC

 /NOENABLE_GENERIC
 Allows files queued to a generic queue that does not specify explicit
 queue names to be placed in this execution queue for processing.

/FORM_MOUNTED=type

 Specifies the form type for a printer, terminal, or server queue.
 If the stock of the mounted form is not identical to the stock of
 the default form, as indicated by the DCL command qualifier
 /DEFAULT=FORM=type, then all jobs submitted to this queue without
 an explicit form definition will enter a pending state.  If a job
 is submitted with an explicit form and the stock of the explicit
 form is not identical to the stock of the mounted form, then the job
 will enter a pending state.  In both cases, the pending state will be
 maintained until the stock of the mounted form of the queue is
 identical to the stock of the form associated with the job.

/GENERIC[=(queue-name,...)]

 /NOGENERIC (default)
 Specifies that the queue is generic and that jobs placed in it can be
 moved to one of the specified execution queues for processing. The
 specified queue must be compatible. If you do not specify a queue,
 jobs can move to any execution queue (initialized without the printer,
 terminal, or server) as the generic queue. By default, a generic queue
 is a print queue; use the appropriate qualifier (/BATCH, /PROCESSOR,
 /TERMINAL) to override the default.

/JOB_LIMIT=n

 Specifies the number of batch jobs that can be executed concurrently
 from the queue. The value of n defaults to 1.

/OWNER_UIC=uic

 Requires OPER privilege.
 Specifies a UIC for the queue.

/PROCESSOR=file-name

 Specifies a file containing a print symbiont. Specify only a file
 name. The file must be in SYS$SYSTEM and must have a type of EXE. The
 default print symbiont is named PRTSMB. (Used for a generic queue, the
 /PROCESSOR qualifier specifies that the generic queue can place jobs
 only on queues that have declared themselves as server queues and that
 are executing the specified symbiont image.)

/PROTECTION=(ownership[:access],...)

 Requires OPER privilege.
 Applies the specified protection to the queue. The ownership
 categories are SYSTEM, OWNER, GROUP, and WORLD. The access categories
 are R (read), W (write), E (create), and D (delete). The default
 protection is (SYSTEM:E, OWNER:D, GROUP:R, WORLD:W).

/RECORD_BLOCKING

 /NORECORD_BLOCKING
 Determines whether the symbiont can concatenate (or block together)
 output records for transmission to the output device.  If you specify
 /NORECORD_BLOCKING, the symbiont is directed to send each formatted
 record in a separate I/O request to the output device.  For the standard
 MicroVMS print symbiont, record blocking can have a significant
 performance advantage over single-record mode.

/RETAIN[=keyword]

 /NORETAIN
 Retains jobs in the queue in a completed status after they have
 executed. Possible keywords are:

 +-------+--------------------------------------------------+
 | ALL   | Retains all jobs in the queue after execution.   |
 |       | (default)                                        |
 +-------+--------------------------------------------------+
 | ERROR | Retains in the queue only jobs that complete     |
 |       | unsuccessfully                                   |
 +-------+--------------------------------------------------+

/SCHEDULE=SIZE

 /SCHEDULE=NOSIZE
 Schedules jobs in a printer or terminal queue on the basis of size so
 that short jobs print before long jobs.

/SEPARATE=(keyword,...)

 /NOSEPARATE
 Specifies the job separation defaults for a printer or terminal queue.
 Possible keywords are:

 +-------------------+------------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]BURST         | Prints a burst page (a flag page printed over  |
 |                   | the paper's  perforations for easy             |
 |                   | identification of individual files) at the     |
 |                   | beginning  of every job.                       |
 +-------------------+------------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]FLAG          | Prints a flag page (containing the job entry   |
 |                   | number, the name  of the user submitting the   |
 |                   | job, and so on) at the beginning of every      |
 |                   | job.                                           |
 +-------------------+------------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]TRAILER       | Prints a trailer page at the end of every job. |
 +-------------------+------------------------------------------------+
 | [NO]RESET=(m,...) | Specifies a job reset sequence for the queue.  |
 |                   | The specified  module(s) from the device       |
 |                   | control library (see /LIBRARY) are used to     |
 |                   | reset  the device each time a job reset        |
 |                   | occurs.                                        |
 +-------------------+------------------------------------------------+

/WSDEFAULT=n

 Defines a working set default for a batch job. The /WSDEFAULT
 qualifier overrides the working set size specified in the user
 authorization file. Possible values are: a positive integer in the
 range 1 through 65535, 0, or the keyword NONE (the default). A zero or
 NONE sets the default value to the value specified either in the UAF
 or by the SUBMIT command (if specified).

/WSEXTENT=n

 Defines a working set extent for the batch job. The /WSEXTENT
 qualifier overrides the working set extent in the user authorization
 file. Possible values are: a positive integer in the range 1 through

 default value to the value specified either in the UAF or by the
 SUBMIT command (if specified).

/WSQUOTA=n

 Defines a working set page size (working set quota) for the batch job.
 The /WSQUOTA qualifier overrides the value in the user authorization
 file. Possible values are: a positive integer in the range 1 through
 65535, 0, or the keyword NONE (the default). A zero or NONE sets the
 default value to the value specified either in the UAF or by the
 SUBMIT command (if specified).

 as: delta time, 0, NONE, or INFINITE. Both the value 0 and the keyword
 INFINITE allow unlimited CPU time; the keyword NONE defaults to your
 UAF value or the limit specified on the queue. You cannot specify more
 time than permitted by the base queue limits or your own UAF.

/DELETE

 /NODELETE (default)
 Positional qualifier.
 As a command qualifier -- Deletes all files in the specified job. (The
 protection set for the file(s) must allow delete access to the UIC of
 the original submitter.)

 As a parameter qualifier -- Deletes the file. (The protection set for
 the file(s) must allow delete access to the UIC of the original
 submitter.)

/ENTRY=job-number

 |         | the job                                        |
 +---------+------------------------------------------------+

/FORM

 Specifies special print forms (including width, length, or type of
 paper) for the job. The SHOW QUEUE/FORM command displays the available
 print forms. If you specify a forms type different from that of the
 queue, the job remains pending until the queue's forms type is set to
 that of the job's specified form type. To change the forms type for
 the queue, stop the queue, physically change the forms, and restart
 the queue, specifying the new forms type with the /FORM qualifier.

/HEADER

 /NOHEADER
 Prints a heading line at the top of each page in the print job.

/HOLD

 /NOHOLD
 Holds the job until released by the /NOHOLD or /RELEASE qualifier. The
 /NOHOLD qualifier also releases jobs submitted with the /AFTER
 qualifier, jobs held in a queue with the /RETAIN qualifier, and jobs
 refused by a user-written symbiont.

/JOB_COUNT=n

 Prints the job n times. The value of n can be from 1 through 255. This
 qualifier overrides both the /JOB_COUNT qualifier and the default of
 the PRINT command.

/KEEP

 /NOKEEP
 Retains the batch job log file after it is printed.

/LOG_FILE=file-spec

 /NOLOG_FILE
 Creates a log file with the specified file specification, which can
 include a device name as long as the process executing the batch job
 has access to the device on which the log file will reside. Logical
 names in the file specification are translated in the context of the
 process that executes the SET QUEUE/ENTRY command. If this qualifier
 is not specified, a log file with the file name of the first command
 file (or the file name specified with the /NAME qualifier) and a file
 type of LOG is created.

/LOWERCASE

 /NOLOWERCASE
 Prints the job only on a printer that supports lowercase characters.

/NAME=job-name

 Names (or renames) the job. The name can be 1 through 39 alphanumeric
 characters. The file name defaults to the file name of the first file
 in the job and a file type of LOG.

/NOTE=message

 Specifies a message of up to 255 characters to appear on the flag page
 of the job. Enclose the message in quotation marks if it contains
 spaces, special characters, or lowercase characters.

/NOTIFY

 /NONOTIFY
 Broadcasts notification of job completion or abortion to any terminal
 at which you are logged in.

/OPERATOR=message

 Specifies a message string of up to 255 characters to be sent to the
 operator just before the job begins execution. Enclose the message in
 quotation marks if it contains spaces, special characters, or
 lowercase characters.

/PAGES=([lower,]upper)

 Specifies the number of pages to print for the specified job. By
 default, all pages of a file are printed. The lower parameter
 specifies the first page to print; it defaults to the first page of
 the job. The upper parameter specifies the last page to print; it
 defaults to the last page of the job. You must specify double
 quotation marks ("") if you omit the upper parameter.

/PARAMETERS=(parameter,...)

 Specifies from 1 to 8 optional parameters to be passed to the job. A
 parameter can consist of 1 through 255 characters. Enclose the
 parameter in quotation marks if it contains spaces, special
 characters, or lowercase characters. For batch jobs, the parameters
 define values to be equated to the symbols named P1 through P8 in each
 command procedure in the job.

/PASSALL

 /NOPASSALL
 Specifies whether the symbiont bypasses all formatting and sends the
 output QIO to the driver with format suppressed.  All qualifiers
 affecting formatting, as well as the /HEADER, /PAGES and /PAGE_SETUP
 qualifiers, will be ignored.

 operations, where count is the number of blocks to be allocated for
 each I/O buffer.

/BUFFER_COUNT=count

 Specifies a default multibuffer count (from -128 through 127) for file
 operations, where count is the number of buffers to be allocated. A
 positive value indicates that the specified number of buffers must be
 locked in the process's working set for the I/O operation. A negative

/MAGTAPE

 Indicates that the specified multibuffer default is to be applied to
 operations on magnetic tape volumes.  If /SEQUENTIAL is specified,
 /MAGTAPE is assumed.

/PROLOG=n

 Specifies a default prolog level for ISAM files where n is 0, 2, or 3.
 (A value of 1 is not allowed.) By default, the value of n is 0; if n
 is 0, VAX-11 RMS sets an appropriate prolog level.

 if the system is halted and restarted. Use in a system start-up file
 to establish characteristics for all terminals on the system.

/PRINTER_PORT

 /NOPRINTER_PORT (default)
 Specifies that the terminal has a printer port (an attribute not set
 by the the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command).

/PROTOCOL=DDCMP

 /PROTOCOL=NONE (default)
 Controls whether the terminal port specified is changed into an
 asynchronous DDCMP line.  The /PROTOCOL=NONE qualifier changes
 an asynchronous DDCMP line back into a terminal line.
