Library /sys$common/syshlp/EXCHNGHLP.HLB  —  INITIALIZE  Examples
    1.$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DLA2:
      %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED,                 mounted on DLA2
      $ EXCHANGE
      EXCHANGE> INITIALIZE DLA2:
      %EXCHANGE-S-INITIALIZED, the RT-11 volume _DLA2: has been initialized

      The command in this example initializes the volume mounted on
      the RL02 drive DLA2. Since DLA2 is a block-addressable device
      mounted with the /FOREIGN qualifier, RT-11 is the default
      format. EXCHANGE physically scans all blocks of the volume,
      builds a bad block replacement table, and displays a message
      indicating that it failed to turn up any bad blocks.

    2.EXCHANGE> INITIALIZE MTA0:/DENSITY=1600

      The command in this example initializes the DOS-11 magnetic
      tape volume loaded on MTA0. The density is specified as 1600
      bpi; the default would have been 800 bpi for an MT drive.

    3.EXCHANGE> INITIALIZE/CREATE/ALLOCATION=1000 VIRTUAL
      %EXCHANGE-S-INITIALIZED, the RT-11 volume DRB0:[LOGIN]VIRTUAL.DSK has been initialized

      The command in this example creates a virtual device with an
      allocation of 1000 blocks in the directory [LOGIN] on DRB0.
      EXCHANGE applies the default file type DSK.
