HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary 1

This document, "HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary: A–M" (July 2006, Order Number: BA555–90001), is the first volume of a two-part manual. It serves as a detailed reference guide for all users of the HP OpenVMS operating system (specifically OpenVMS I64 Version 8.3 and OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3).

The manual provides comprehensive information and examples for Digital Command Language (DCL) commands and lexical functions, covering those alphabetically from A through M. It also includes summary tables of lexical functions and FAO directives. The document expects readers to be familiar with the OpenVMS User's Manual and notes that commands for language compilers and other optional software products are excluded, with obsolete DCL commands listed in an appendix in the second volume.
