2.2    /FULL

       /FULL
       /NOFULL (default)

    displays a subset of available information in 80-column format.

2.3    /KIT_ATTRIBUTES

       /KIT_ATTRIBUTES=keyword([,...])

    Selects kits by kit type or kit format, or both. Keywords are:

    FORMAT=      Designates the format of the product kit as follows:
    format-type
                 COMPRESSED  Compressed format in which a data
                             compression technique has been applied
                             to a sequential kit. A compressed kit
                             has a .PCSI$COMPRESSED file type.

                 REFERENCE   Reference format in which product
                             files exist in a directory tree. A
                             .PCSI$DESCRIPTION file in the top
                             level of the directory tree denotes a
                             reference kit.

                 SEQUENTIAL  Sequential format in which product files
                             are placed in a container file. A file
                             type of .PCSI indicates a sequential
                             kit.

    TYPE=        Specifies the type of product kit as follows:
    kit-type
                 FULL        Layered product (application) software.

                 OPERATING_  Operating system software.
                 SYSTEM

                 MANDATORY_  A required correction to currently
                 UPDATE      installed software. Functionally, this
                             type of kit is the same as a patch kit.

                 PARTIAL     An upgrade to currently installed
                             software. Installation of this kit
                             changes the version of the product.

                 PATCH       A correction to currently installed
                             software. Installation of this kit does
                             not change the version of the product.

                 PLATFORM    An integrated set of software products
                             (also called a product suite).

                 TRANSITION  Used to register information about
                             a product that is installed but not
                             recorded in the product database
                             (for example, a product installed by
                             VMSINSTAL). This kit does not provide
                             product material.

2.4    /PRODUCER

       /PRODUCER=producer-name

    Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
    produces.

2.5    /SOURCE

       /SOURCE=device-name:[directory-name]

    Specifies the disk and directory where the utility searches for
    the software product kit or kits. If /SOURCE is not specified,
    the utility searches in the location defined by the logical
    name PCSI$SOURCE. If PCSI$SOURCE is not defined, and the /SOURCE
    qualifier is not specified, PCSI searches the current default
    directory.

2.6    /SPAN_VERSIONS

       /SPAN_VERSIONS=keyword([,...])

    Selects software products whose versions match the specified
    version criteria. The keywords are:

    ABOVE=version    Selects versions greater than the version
                     specified

    BELOW=version    Selects versions less than the version specified

    MINIMUM=version  Selects versions greater than or equal to the
                     version specified

    MAXIMUM=version  Selects versions less than or equal to the
                     version specified

    The ABOVE, BELOW, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM keywords can be
    used alone or in combination. For example, /SPAN_VERSIONS=
    (MINIMUM=V2.1,BELOW=V3.0) selects versions greater than or equal
    to V2.1 and less than (but not including) V3.0. Using the MAXIMUM
    keyword instead of BELOW would select versions that include V3.0.

2.7    /VERSION

       /VERSION=version-number

    Selects software products that have the specified version.

3  –  Example

  $ PRODUCT FIND TEST* /BASE_SYSTEM=VAXVMS

      The command in this example searches for all software product
      kits located in the user's default directory and displays the
      names of all versions of products whose names begin with "TEST"
      and are intended to be installed on OpenVMS VAX.
