1    /FORMAT

       /FORMAT=fmt-name
       /FORMAT=DDIF (default)

    Specifies the format of your input file. The input formats that
    you can use with the CDA Viewer depend on the CDA converters
    installed on your system. The default input format is DDIF. Input
    formats supported by converters installed with the DEC CDA Base
    Services for DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS and their default file
    extensions are as follows:

    Input Format   File Extension

    DDIF           .DDIF
    DTIF           .DTIF
    TEXT           .TXT

    HP's CDA Converter Library provides additional converters that
    support display of other popular file formats. If you have the
    CDA Converter Library Version 2.2 or later installed on your
    system, see HELP CDA_Converters for more information, or contact
    your system manager for a complete list of input converters
    available on your system.

2    /HEIGHT

       /HEIGHT=nn

    Specifies the height of the page in number of characters. If
    you specify the /OVERRIDE_FORMAT qualifier, or if the document
    being viewed has no inherent format, this page height is used.
    On the DECwindows Motif display, the default height is 66 lines,
    which is equivalent to the default page height of 11 inches.
    On character cell displays, the page height defaults to your
    terminal's screen height. However, if you use the /OUTPUT
    qualifier, the page height depends on the page height of your
    document.

3    /INTERFACE

       /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS
       /INTERFACE=CHARACTER_CELL (default)

    Specifies the type of display you are using.

4    /OPTIONS

       /OPTIONS=options-filename

    Specifies a text file that contains processing options applied
    to the input file while it is processed for display. The default
    file extension for an options file is .CDA$OPTIONS.

5    /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT=output-filename
       /NOOUTPUT (default)

    Specifies a file that you want to receive the output instead of
    having it displayed on the screen. You cannot use this qualifier
    when you have specified the /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS qualifier.

    If you specify /OUTPUT but you do not specify a file name, the
    CDA Viewer creates a file with the same name as your input
    file but with a file type of LIS. If you specify the /OUTPUT
    qualifier, you cannot also specify the /PAGE qualifier.

6    /OVERRIDE_FORMAT

       /OVERRIDE_FORMAT
       /NOOVERRIDE_FORMAT (default)

    Controls whether the CDA Viewer overrides the format of your
    document or uses the formatting information stored in your
    document.

7    /PAGE

       /PAGE
       /NOPAGE (default)

    On a character cell terminal, this qualifier determines whether
    the output display of the CDA Viewer pauses after displaying
    each page of your file. If you specify the /PAGE qualifier,
    you can page backward and forward, or jump to the top or
    bottom of the document. Note that if you specify the /PAGE
    qualifier, you cannot specify either the /OUTPUT qualifier or
    the /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS qualifier.

8    /WIDTH

       /WIDTH=nn

    Specifies the number of characters per line. If you specify the
    /OVERRIDE_FORMAT qualifier, or if the document being viewed has
    no inherent format, this page width is used. On the DECwindows
    Motif display, the default width is 85 characters, which is
    equivalent to the default page width of 8.5 inches. On character
    cell displays, the page width defaults to your terminal's screen
    width. However, if you use the /OUTPUT qualifier, the default is
    132 columns.
