OpenVMS's backups don't send summary information

Folks,

I was slightly incorrect on my answer to this question: some of the summary
functionality is in the API (Glen Hatrup suggested in a private email to me
that it was there.  Glen refers to some enhanced functionality that we don't
yet have) and it turns out we chose not to implement that limited
functionality.  However, when I questioned the engineer about this, he poked
around and determined that we can have some of the functionality now.  He
has added it to our code and it will be released in the future.  I don't
know what that release date will be at this time though.

>From the engineer a description of the functionality we will have:

For grins, I spent an hour or so getting our log information into the server
log.  Because of the limited logging capability of our API, the only code we
can report is ANE4990I and we cannot change the severity to anything but
informational.  However, that's what a summary is, and so it will probably
be acceptable.

Example of proposed ABC V3.1.0.5 summary capability:

Client command:

$ ABC <cmd> /SUMMARY=(TSM) <file>

You can also get client-local summaries, so this feature is IN ADDITION to
what we do today:

$ ABC <cmd> /SUMMARY=(TSM,FILE=MYSUMMARY.TXT) <file>
