1 /BEFORE
/BEFORE[=date-time]
Specifies that only those events dated earlier than the stated
date and time are to be selected.
For date-time, you can specify an absolute time, a delta time, or
a combination of absolute and delta times. See the OpenVMS User's
Manual for details on specifying times.
If you omit a date and time, TODAY is used.
2 /ENTRY
/ENTRY[=keyword,...]
Specifies the range of entries to be selected.
You can specify one or both of the following keywords:
Keyword Description
START[:decimal- Indicates the start of a range of entries to
value] be selected.
END[:decimal- Indicates the end of a range of entries to be
value] selected.
Usage Notes:
o You can specify one or both of these keywords. If you specify
both keywords, you must enclose them in parentheses.
o If you specify /ENTRY without an entry range, the entry range
defaults to START:1,END:end-of-file.
o If you specify the START or END keyword without a value, the
keyword is ignored.
3 /EXCLUDE
/EXCLUDE=event-class[,...]
Specifies an event class or classes to be rejected. Do not use
/EXCLUDE with /INCLUDE.
For event-class, specify one or more of the keywords shown in
the following table. If you specify more than one keyword, use a
comma-separated list of values enclosed in parentheses.
Keyword Description
ATTENTIONS Reject device attention entries.
BUGCHECKS Reject all types of bugcheck entries.
CONFIGURATION Reject system configuration entries.

5 /INTERACTIVE
/INTERACTIVE
/NOINTERACTIVE
Specifies whether or not ELV is to run in interactive shell mode
after you execute the ELV command. By default, interactive shell
mode results from the way the current ELV command is entered.
6 /LOG
/LOG
/NOLOG
Specifies whether or not ELV is to output control and
informational messages to the terminal. The default /NOLOG does
not output these messages to the terminal.
7 /NODE
/NODE[=node-name,...]
/NONODE[=node-name,...]
Specifies that events occurring on a node or nodes are to be
selected or rejected.
If you enter /NODE without a value, only events that occur on the
node on which you are running ELV are selected.
If you enter /NONODE without a value, events occurring on all
nodes that are represented in the error log file are selected.
8 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=output-file]
Specifies the output file that is to contain converted copies of
events.
If you do not specify an output file name, the input file name is
used. If you do not specify a device and directory, your current
device and directory are used. If you do not specify a file type,
the default file type is .CVT.
9 /REJECTED
Specifies that rejected (rather than selected) events are to be
converted.
10 /SINCE
/SINCE[=date-time]
Specifies that only those events dated later than the stated date
and time are to be selected.
For date-time, you can specify an absolute time, a delta time, or
a combination of absolute and delta times. See the OpenVMS User's
Manual for details on specifying times.
If you omit a date and time, TODAY is used.
