1 /AFTER[=generation-expression]
Specifies the start of a range of generations that are to be
deleted, excluding the specified generation. You cannot specify
both /AFTER and /FROM or both /AFTER and /GENERATION. You must
specify the end of the range with either the /BEFORE or /TO
qualifier.
2 /ARCHIVE=[file-specification]
Specifies a file to which CMS writes archived generation
information. If the file specification is omitted, CMS creates
a file for each with the same name as the element and the .CMS_
ARCHIVE file type and places it in your default directory.
3 /BEFORE[=generation-expression]
Specifies the end of a range of generations that are to be
deleted, excluding the specified generation. You cannot specify
both /BEFORE and /TO or both /BEFORE and /GENERATION. You must
specify the start of the range with either the /AFTER or /FROM
qualifier.
4 /CONFIRM (D)
Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
transaction.
When you run CMS in interactive mode, CMS prompts you for
confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1, CMS executes the
transaction. If you type NO or QUIT or press RETURN, no action
is performed. If you type any other character, CMS continues to
prompt until you type an acceptable response.
CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.
5 /FROM[=generation-expression]
Specifies the start of a range of generations that are to be
deleted, including the specified generation. You cannot specify
both /FROM and /AFTER or both /FROM and /GENERATION. You must
specify the end of the range with either the /BEFORE or /TO
qualifier.
6 /GENERATION[=generation-expression]
Specifies a particular generation of the element to be deleted. By
default, the most recent generation on the main line of descent is
deleted. You cannot combine /GENERATION with any of the following
qualifiers: /FROM, /TO, /AFTER, and /BEFORE.
7 /LOG (D)
Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
/NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.
8 /OCCLUDE[=option,...]
Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
associated with the name of the object. The options field can
contain the following keywords:
ALL--equivalent to ELEMENT
ELEMENT (D)
NOELEMENT
NONE--equivalent to NOELEMENT
You can specify either ALL, NONE, or the [NO]ELEMENT keyword.
By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.
9 /TO[=generation-expression]
Specifies the end of a range of generations that are to be
deleted, including the specified generation. You cannot specify
both /TO and /BEFORE or both /TO and /GENERATION. You must specify
the start of the range with either the /AFTER or /FROM qualifier.
