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

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.

than the current date are selected. Specify date and time in the OpenVMS
standard format dd-mmm-yyyy:hh-mm-ss.
/INPUT=file
