which you can generate customized reports. If you do not specify a qualifier, all
records are selected.

SELECT file [/qualifier]

Parameters

records are written.

Qualifiers

/APPLICATION=application

Allows you to select detailed records associated with the application(s)
specified. The application specification can be an ACMS application name
or a list of application names. If you specify a list, separate the names with
a comma and enclose the list within parentheses. The asterisk (*) wild card
character is permitted in application name specifications. If you do not specify
/APPLICATION, records for all applications are selected unless you set default
application(s) with the SET command.

Specifying /APPLICATION with the SELECT command overrides any default
applications that you previously set. Specifying /APPLICATION=* on the
SELECT command selects records for all applications, overriding any defaults
that are set.

/BEFORE[=date-time]

Selects detailed records that were written before the date and time specified.
The date-time specification is optional. If you omit it, records written earlier
than the current date are selected. Specify date and time in the OpenVMS
standard format dd-mmm-yyyy:hh-mm-ss.

/INPUT=file

Specifies a source file from which records for the report are to be read. If you
do not specify a source file, the latest version of SYS$ERRORLOG:
