Parameters

filespec

   filespec is a standard VMS file  specification,  and  is  the  file
   specification by which the virtual disk file is known.  The default
   file extension for a virtual disk is ".DSK".  The target  directory
   for  the virtual disk file may be explicitly stated in the filespec
   or a standard location may be chosen.  In the later case, the /TYPE
   qualifier is used to select a target directory.

   filespec.  Possible values for the qualifier are:
