1  SHOW
   Displays the values of system parameters in the SYSGEN work area,
   plus the default, minimum, and maximum values of the parameters
   and their units of measure.

   Format

     SHOW  parameter-name
 

2  Parameter
 

parameter-name

   Specifies the name of a system parameter. If you enter a period
   (.),  it is interpreted as a request for the system parameter
   specified in the last SET parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name
   command.

   Beginning in OpenVMS Version 8.2, specifies OBSOLETE in the Units
   column for any specified parameter that is obsolete.
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/ACP

   Specifies that all ACP parameter values are displayed.
 

/ALL

   Specifies that all parameter values other than SPECIAL parameter
   values are displayed.
 

/BI

   Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in the
   I/O space for the VAXBI bus are displayed.
 

/CLUSTER

   Specifies that all CLUSTER parameter values are displayed.
 

/DYNAMIC

   Specifies that all DYNAMIC parameter values are displayed.
 

/GEN

   Specifies that all GEN parameter values are displayed.
 

/HEX

   Specifies that the values of parameters be displayed in
   hexadecimal representation. Specify the /HEX system parameter
   name or the parameter type. If you specify the /HEX qualifier
   with the /NAMES qualifier, /HEX is ignored.
 

/JOB

   Specifies that all JOB parameter values are displayed.
 

/LGI

   Specifies that all LGI parameter values are displayed.
 

/MAJOR

   Specifies that all MAJOR parameter values are displayed.
 

/MULTIPROCESSING

   Specifies that all MULTIPROCESSING parameters are displayed.
 

/NAMES

   Specifies that the names of all parameters are displayed.
 

/OBSOLETE

   Specifies that the names of all obsolete parameters are
   displayed.
 

/PQL

   Specifies that all PQL parameter values are displayed.
 

/RMS

   Specifies that all RMS parameter values are displayed.
 

/SCS

   Specifies that all SCS parameter values are displayed.
 

/SPECIAL

   Specifies that all parameter values reserved for HP use are
   displayed.
 

/STARTUP

   Specifies that the name of the current site-independent startup
   command procedure is displayed.
 

/SYS

   Specifies that all SYS parameter values are displayed.
 

/TTY

   Specifies that all terminal parameter values are displayed.
 

/XMI

      /XMI[=BIindex]

   Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in
   the I/O space for the XMI bus are displayed. The /XMI qualifier
   also displays node and nexus numbers and generic names of all
   processors, adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and
   interconnection devices such as the NI.

   Use of the SHOW/XMI=BIindex command requires the CMEXEC
   privilege.
 

2  Description
   Parameter values are displayed in decimal unless the /HEX
   qualifier is specified. Note that ASCII values are displayed
   in ASCII by default.

   When parameter names are abbreviated on a VAX platform, the first
   parameter matching the abbreviation is selected for display.
   No ambiguity checks are made. On an Alpha or I64 platform, all
   parameters whose names match the abbreviation are printed.

   For example, a specification of SHOW GBL on a VAX system displays
   only the GBLSECTIONS parameter. To display the GBLPAGFIL
   parameter, you must specify SHOW GBLPAGF (to avoid further
   ambiguity with the GBLPAGES parameter). On an Alpha or I64
   system, the same SHOW GBL command displays GBLSECTIONS, GBLPAGES,
   and GBLPAGFIL.

   You can enter a period (.)  to indicate that you want to work
   with the system parameter that was specified in the last SET
   parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name command.
  
 
2  /STARTUP
   Displays the name of the current site-independent startup command
   procedure.

   Format

     SHOW/STARTUP
 

3  Parameters
   None.
 

3  Qualifiers
   None.
 

3  Example

 SYSGEN>  SHOW/STARTUP
 Startup command file = SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM

     This command displays the name of the site-independent startup
     command procedure.
