/CONVERT
       /NOCONVERT

    Optional. Default: /CONVERT.

    Converts files with the following attributes to STREAM_LF files:

    o  Sequential

    o  Variable length

    o  Carriage return/carriage control (VAR-CR)

    The convert feature works with some utilities and DCL commands
    but not with others. For example, it works with the CREATE
    command and with EDIT/TPU, but it does not work with COPY,
    BACKUP, or EDIT/EDT. There is no simple way to identify what
    works. However, for the feature to take effect, the following
    conditions must be satisfied:

    o  The file attributes must be sequential, variable length, and
       carriage return/carriage control.

    o  The file must be opened for exclusive write access (generally
       true for newly created files).

    o  The file must be opened with the FAB$M_SQO bit set in the
       FAB$L_FOP field.

    o  The file creation and the open for write must be done in one
       step. That is, if the program first creates the file and
       afterward opens it for write, the convert feature does not
       work.

    You can convert only those files that were opened using RMS
    sequential access. For additional information, refer to the HP
    TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management manual.
