    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.

4    /PRODUCER 

       /PRODUCER=producer-name

    Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
    produces.

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.

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.

7    /VERSION 

       /VERSION=version-number

    Selects software products that have the specified version.
