HELPLIB.HLB  —  ALLOCATE  Qualifiers

1    /GENERIC

       /GENERIC
       /NOGENERIC (default)

    Indicates that the first parameter is a device type rather than a
    device name. Example device types are: RX50, RD52, TK50, RC25,
    RCF25, and RL02. The first free, nonallocated device of the
    specified name and type is allocated.

    The /[NO]GENERIC qualifier is placed before the device-name
    parameter in the ALLOCATE command line. For example, you can
    allocate an RK07 device by entering the following command at the
    DCL prompt ($):

    $ ALLOCATE/GENERIC RK07 DISK

    The following table shows some device types that you can specify
    with the /GENERIC qualifier. To see what devices are available,
    see your SPD for the OpenVMS version they are currently using.

       /LOG (default)
       /NOLOG

    Displays a message indicating the name of the device allocated.
    If the operation specifies a logical name that is currently
    assigned to another device, then the superseded value is
    displayed.
