In DCL commands, you can select either of the following styles
    for parsing file specifications:

    o  Traditional filenames are allowed on both ODS-2 and ODS-5
       volumes.

    o  Extended filenames are allowed on ODS-5 but not on ODS-2
       volumes.

    Some OpenVMS commands and utilities have new qualifiers to
    control the interpretation and display of file specifications.

                                   NOTE

       DCL lexical functions use the DEC-Multinational character
       set, which is different from the ISOLatin-1 character set
       used for file names on an ODS-5 disk. This can lead to
       unexpected results if, for example, you use the DCL function
       F$EDIT to upcase a filename.

    Some DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities have been specifically
    modified to take advantage of all the features of extended file
    names. These utilities and commands accept and handle extended
    file specifications without error and without modifying their
    expected case.

    Other DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities have had little or
    no modification to take advantage of extended file names.
    These utilities and commands are expected to handle most of
    the attributes of extended file specifications (such as new
    characters and deep directory structures) correctly.

    Extended File Specifications Support fully defines the different
    levels of support for extended file names provided by DCL
    commands and OpenVMS utilities in OpenVMS Version 7.2 and later.

    The following DCL commands and OpenVMS utilities provide full
    support for extended file names:

       ANALYZE /AUDIT
       ANALYZE /DISK
       ANALYZE /RMS
       BACKUP
       CONVERT
       CONVERT /RECLAIM
       COPY
       CREATE /DIRECTORY
       DELETE
       DIRECTORY
       DUMP
       EDIT /ACL
       EXCHANGE /NETWORK
       FDL
       PURGE
       RECOVER/RMS
       RENAME
       SEARCH
       SET SECURITY
       SYSMAN
       TYPE

 The following table lists the new features in DCL to support
 Extended File Specifications.
