The FETCH command copies the contents of a file element to the
OpenVMS file specified on the command line. You must use the
SET CONTEXT command to define a current context before using the
FETCH command.
The OpenVMS file created by the FETCH command is available for
both read and write access. It has no further connection to the
file element from which it was copied or to the repository. You
are responsible for maintaining the OpenVMS file.
