OpenVMS AXP 6.2 VAX 6.2 DCL Dictionary A-M

This document is the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary: A-M (6.2), published by Digital Equipment Corporation in December 1995.

It serves as the first volume of a two-part manual, providing detailed reference information and examples for OpenVMS Digital Command Language (DCL) commands and lexical functions whose names begin with letters A through M. The commands and lexical functions are organized alphabetically.

The manual is intended for all users of the OpenVMS operating system (specifically OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.2 and OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2), offering a comprehensive guide to DCL for tasks such as system administration, command procedures, and interactive use. It notes that commands for language compilers and other optional OpenVMS software products are covered in their respective product documentation, not in this dictionary.
