$ SHOW BROADCAST
Broadcasts are disabled for all classes
This example shows the display you see when SET BROADCAST=NONE
is in effect.
6 – CLUSTER
Invokes the Show Cluster utility to monitor and display cluster
activity and performance.
For more information about the Show Cluster utility, see the HP
OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual.
Format
SHOW CLUSTER
If you specify the command without any qualifiers, SHOW CLUSTER
displays a single cluster report and then returns control to the
DCL level.
To invoke a continuous SHOW CLUSTER display, enter the following
command:
$ SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS
SHOW CLUSTER requires no special privileges because it is
installed with the CMKRNL privilege.
In a continuous display, you can control report output with SHOW
CLUSTER commands. For information about SHOW CLUSTER commands,
invoke a continuous SHOW CLUSTER display, enter Return to get to
the Command> prompt, and then enter HELP.
6.1 – Qualifiers
6.1.1 /BEGINNING
/BEGINNING=time
Specifies the time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to begin. You
can specify absolute time, a delta time, or a combination of the
two. Observe the syntax rules for time values described in the
OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.
If you specify a future time, your process is placed in a state
of hibernation until the specified time. Use this qualifier with
the /OUTPUT and /ENDING qualifiers to run SHOW CLUSTER without
direct user intervention.
You can specify time as absolute time expressed as
[dd-mmm-yyyy[:]] [hh:mm:ss.cc], or a delta time expressed as
[dddd-][hh:mm:ss.cc], or a combination of the two. Observe the
syntax rules for time values described in the OpenVMS User's
Manual or the online help topic Date.
6.1.2 /CONTINUOUS
Specifies a continuously updating display. If you omit the
qualifier, SHOW CLUSTER produces a single display and returns
control to the DCL command level.
Running SHOW CLUSTER in the continuous mode allows you to use
SHOW CLUSTER commands to control the display. In a continuous
display, you can control report output with SHOW CLUSTER
commands. For information about the SHOW CLUSTER commands, invoke
a continuous SHOW CLUSTER display and type HELP at the Command>
prompt.
SHOW CLUSTER has commands that allow you to customize the
display. You can add and remove fields and classes, rearrange
the position of windows, scroll their contents, or create
an initialization or command procedure that can recreate a
particular window setup.
To exit from a continuous display and return to the DCL level,
type the EXIT command or press Ctrl/Z.
To exit from SHOW CLUSTER without erasing the screen, press
Ctrl/C.
To interrupt SHOW CLUSTER, press Ctrl/Y.
For a complete description of the Show Cluster utility and
commands, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual for overview
information and the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities
Reference Manual for reference information.
6.1.3 /ENDING
/ENDING=time
Specifies the time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to end. You
can specify an absolute time, a delta time, or a combination of
the two. Observe the syntax rules for time values described in
the OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.
Use this qualifier with the /BEGINNING and /OUTPUT qualifiers to
run SHOW CLUSTER without direct user intervention.
You can specify time as absolute time expressed as [dd-mmm-
yyyy[:]][hh:mm:ss.cc], or a delta time expressed as [dddd-
][hh:mm:s.cc], or a combination of the two. Observe the syntax
rules for time values described in the OpenVMS User's Manual or
the online help topic Date.
6.1.4 /INTERVAL
/INTERVAL=seconds
Specifies the number of seconds that display information remains
on the screen before it is updated. By default, the interval time
is 15 seconds.
If you use an initialization file in noncontinuous mode and the
initialization file contains a SET SCREEN command that changes
the screen size, SHOW CLUSTER sets the screen to the specified
size for one update interval and then sets the screen to the
original size.
6.1.5 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=filespec
Directs the output from SHOW CLUSTER to the specified file
instead of the current SYS$OUTPUT device.
SHOW CLUSTER output is always in printable file format,
regardless of the file or device type specified. Output can be
up to 132 columns wide and can be sent to any file, terminal, or
print device.
You can also direct output to a file with the WRITE command.
The filespec is the name of the file or device to which SHOW
CLUSTER output is directed. The default file name is SHOW_
CLUSTER.LIS.
You can direct output to a device other than SYS$OUTPUT, by
specifying a valid device name.
7 – CPU
Displays the current state of the processors in an OpenVMS
system.
Format
SHOW CPU [cpu-id[,...]]
7.1 – Parameter
cpu-id[,...]
Specifies a decimal value representing the identity of a
processor in a OpenVMS multiprocessing system. On an Alpha 7000
system, the CPU ID is the backplane slot number of the processor.
7.2 – Qualifiers
7.2.1 /ACTIVE_SET
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that
are members of the system's active set.
7.2.2 /ALL
Selects all configured processors, active and inactive, as the
subject of the display.
7.2.3 /BRIEF
Produces information from the summary display and also lists the
current CPU state and current process (if any) for each processor
in the configuration.
7.2.4 /CONFIGURE_SET
/CONFIGURE_SET (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors
that are members of the system's configure set - those that are
actively owned and controlled by the current instance.
7.2.5 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
7.2.6 /FULL
Produces information from the summary display. The /FULL
qualifier also lists the current CPU state, the current process
(if any), the revision levels, and the capabilities for each
configured processor. It indicates which processes can execute
only on certain processors in the configuration. In addition, if
one or more uniprocessing drivers are present in the system, the
/FULL qualifier lists them by name.
The SHOW CPU/FULL command lists the current process on each
configured processor without stopping other activity on the
system. The current process may change while the data is
displayed. As a result, there may be apparent inconsistencies in
the display. For example, a process may be listed as the current
process on more than one CPU.
This qualifier also displays whether the CPU is enabled or
disabled for use as a Fast Path preferred CPU, then lists the
Fast Path ports assigned to it, and shows whether or not the
ports are user-assigned.
For more information about using Fast Path features to improve
I/O performance, see the HP OpenVMS I/O User's Reference Manual.
7.2.7 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
7.2.8 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
process default output stream or device, identified by the
logical name SYS$OUTPUT.
If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you
enter a file specification, it may not include the asterisk (*)
and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
7.2.9 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of device information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.

Return, Enter, Space
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
7.2.10 /POTENTIAL_SET
/POTENTIAL_SET (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that
are members of the system's potential set - those CPUs in the
hard partition that meet the current instance's requirements to
join its active set.
Inclusion in this set does not imply that the CPU is (or ever
will be) owned by the current instance. The potential set
only describes those physically existing CPUs that currently
meet the instance-specific hardware and software compatibility
constraints, should they ever become available.
7.2.11 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
7.2.12 /STANDBY_SET
/STANDBY_SET (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that
are members of the system's standby set - those CPUs in the hard
partition that are not currently owned by soft partitions.
Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
7.2.13 /SUMMARY
Produces a display listing the processors in the OpenVMS
multiprocessing or single-CPU system, indicating which is the
primary processor, which processors are configured, and which
processors are active.
The /SUMMARY qualifier also indicates the minimum revision
levels required for processors in the system, which OpenVMS
synchronization image has been loaded into the operating system,
and whether multiprocessing is enabled. If the presence of one or
more uniprocessing drivers in the system prohibits the enabling
of multiprocessing, the SHOW CPU command displays a warning
message.
7.2.14 /SYSTEM
/SYSTEM (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays platform-specific hardware information relating to the
current instance.
7.2.15 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

In this example, the SYSTEM process has its affinity set
permanently to CPU3. The SHOW CPU command indicates this is
the BINDINGS list.
The port PNA0 was assigned to CPU 3 by a user when CPU 3 was
enabled as a Fast Path preferred CPU. Subsequent to that
operation, CPU 3's bit was cleared in the IO_PREFER_CPUS
system parameter. This disabled CPU 3 for use as a Fast Path
preferred CPU. Normally this is a transient condition, as
changing IO_PREFER_CPUS results in the FASTPATH_SERVER process
redistributing the Fast Path ports across the set of usable
CPUs.
However, if there is no FASTPATH_SERVER process, PNA0 remains
assigned to this CPU until any of the following actions occur:
1. The user tries to move the port to another CPU by using the
SET DEVICE/PREFERRED_CPU command, $QIO, or the $IO_FASTPATH
system service.
2. The CPU is stopped.

$
The SHOW CPU/FULL command in this example produces a
configuration summary of the Alpha DS20E 666 MHz system LOWFAT,
indicating that only CPU 02, the primary CPU, is active and
in the RUN state. It also shows that there is a uniprocessing
driver loaded in the system, thus preventing the system from
being enabled as a multiprocessor.
8 – DEFAULT
Displays the current default device and directory.
Format
SHOW DEFAULT
8.1 – Examples
1.$ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK1:[ALAMO]
$ SET DEFAULT DISK5:[SKONETSKI.SOURCES]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK5:[SKONETSKI.SOURCES]
The SHOW DEFAULT command in this example displays the current
default device and directory names. The SET DEFAULT command
changes these defaults, and the next SHOW DEFAULT command
displays the new default device and directory.
2.$ SET DEFAULT NOSUCH:[NOWAY]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
NOSUCH:[NOWAY]
%DCL-I-INVDEF, NOSUCH:[NOWAY] does not exist
In this example, the default has been set to a nonexistent
device and directory. An error message is displayed.
3.$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEALED XYZ WORK:[INVOICES.]
$ SET DEFAULT XYZ:[HESHELMAN]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
XYZ:[HESHELMAN]
In this example, a logical name, XYZ, is defined to represent
WORK:[INVOICES]. The /TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEALED
qualifier tells the system not to display the translation of
XYZ in file specifications. Thus, the SHOW DEFAULT command
displays the logical name XYZ and not its translation.
4.$ SET DEFAULT WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER]
$ DEFINE KUDOS WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP1],WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP2]
$ SET DEFAULT KUDOS
$ SHOW DEFAULT
KUDOS:[SCHENKENBERGER]
In this example, the logical name KUDOS is defined as a search
list containing the directories [SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP1] and
[SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP2] on device WRK. The SET DEFAULT command
equates this search list logical name with the logical name
SYS$DISK. The subsequent SHOW DEFAULT command displays the
search list logical name along with its equivalence strings.
Because the directory field has not been explicitly specified,
the original [SCHENKENBERGER] directory remains in effect as
the current default directory; however, unless the current
default directory syntax ([]) is explicitly used, all file
references are to those directories contained in the search
list.
9 – DEVICES
Displays the status of a device on the system.
See the qualifier descriptions for restrictions.
To display information about devices served by the mass storage
control protocol (MSCP) server on an OpenVMS Cluster system, use
/SERVED.
Format
SHOW DEVICES [device-name[:]]
9.1 – Parameter
device-name[:]
Specifies the name of a device for which information is to be
displayed. The device name displayed by the system uses the
format ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller
designation, and u is the unit number. If the system is part
of an OpenVMS Cluster that is running with HSC controllers, the
device name must include the node name using the format node$ddcu
(where node is the node name).
You can specify a complete device name or only a portion of
a device name. The SHOW DEVICES command provides defaults for
nonspecified portions of device names, as follows:
o If you truncate a device name (for example, if you specify D),
the command lists information about all devices whose device
names begin with what you entered (in this case, D). However,
if you specify a device in an OpenVMS Cluster that is running
with HSC controllers, you must include the entire node portion
of the device name.
o If you omit a controller designation, the SHOW DEVICES command
lists all devices on all controllers with the specified unit
number.
o If you omit a unit number, the SHOW DEVICES command lists all
devices on the specified controller.
Note that the /FILES qualifier does not support defaults for
nonspecified portions of device names; you must supply a complete
device specification.
9.2 – Qualifiers
9.2.1 /ALLOCATED
Displays all devices currently allocated to processes.
If you specify a device name, the characteristics of only that
device are displayed. If the device is not currently allocated,
the command displays a message indicating that there is no such
device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics
of all allocated devices of that type are displayed.
9.2.2 /BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
Displays brief information about the specified devices.
9.2.3 /BITMAP
/BITMAP ddcu:
Displays information regarding minicopy or HBMM (Host-Based
Minimerge) bitmaps for the given shadow set;
Note that the SHOW DEVICES/FULL ddcu: display also displays
status to indicate that bitmaps are active on the device.
9.2.4 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
9.2.5 /FILES
Requires SYSPRV (system privilege) or BYPASS privileges to list
read-protected files.
Displays a list of the names of all files open on a volume and
their associated process name and process identification (PID).
The specified device must be a mounted Files-11 volume. If the
specified volume is a multivolume set, the files on each volume
in the set are listed.
NOTE
The SHOW DEVICES/FILES command does not support defaults
for nonspecified portions of device names. You must supply
a complete device specification when using the /FILES
qualifier.
If the /SYSTEM qualifier is also specified, only the names of
installed files and files opened by the system are displayed.
Files opened by the system are those that have been opened
without the use of an ancillary control process (ACP), such
as INDEXF.SYS and QUOTA.SYS, as well as system files such as
JBCSYSQUE.EXE and SYSMSG.EXE.
If the /NOSYSTEM qualifier is specified, only those files opened
by processes are displayed. To list files opened by a process in
your group, your process must have at least GROUP privilege. If
the process is not in your group, you need WORLD privilege.
If neither the /SYSTEM nor the /NOSYSTEM qualifier is specified,
the names of all files currently opened on the system are
displayed.
If a file is read-protected from your user identification code
(UIC), the "No privilege" message is displayed instead of the
file name. You must have SYSPRV (system privilege) privilege or
BYPASS privilege to display the file name.
A space in place of a file name represents a work file (such as
a temporary edit file) not entered in any directory. To display
temporary file names, you must have BYPASS privilege in addition
to GROUP or WORLD privilege.
Do not use the /FILES qualifier with the /ALLOCATED, /BRIEF,
/FULL, or /MOUNTED qualifier. The functions of the /FILES
qualifier and these qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
9.2.6 /FULL
Displays a complete list of information about the devices,
as appropriate, except for rebuild status. You must use the
/REBUILD_STATUS qualifier to get that information.
Note that you cannot use the /UNITS or /SIZE qualifier with the
/FULL qualifier.
The display will be in blocks or bytes, depending on the current
system default setting. You can use SHOW PROCESS/UNITS to display
the current default. To change the default, execute the DCL
command SET PROCESS/UNITS=BYTES or SET PROCESS/UNITS=BLOCKS.
For more information about fields related to Dissimilar Device
Shadowing (DDS) or Dynamic Volume Expansion (DVE) in the display,
see the discussion of these topics in the HP OpenVMS System
Manager's Manual.
9.2.7 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
9.2.8 /MOUNTED
Displays all devices that currently have volumes mounted on them.
If you specify a device name, only the characteristics of that
device are displayed; however, if the device is not currently
mounted, the command issues a message indicating there is no such
device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics
of all such devices that currently have volumes mounted are
displayed.
9.2.9 /MULTIPATH
Displays all devices that are currently multipath sets.
If you specify a device name, only the characteristics of that
device are displayed; however, if the device is not a multipath
set, the command issues a message indicating there is no such
device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics
of all such devices that are currently multipath sets are
displayed.
9.2.10 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
process default output stream or device, identified by the
logical name SYS$OUTPUT.
If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you
enter a file specification, it may not include the asterisk (*)
and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
9.2.11 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of device information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Get the next page of information.
Return, Enter, Space
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
9.2.12 /REBUILD_STATUS
Tells you whether volumes need rebuilding.
You may need to rebuild a volume if the volume was improperly
dismounted. Volumes are improperly dismounted when, for example,
the system crashes.
For each volume, SHOW DEVICES/REBUILD_STATUS returns one of these
values:
Value Meaning
Yes Rebuild needed.
No Rebuild not needed.
Not applicable You cannot rebuild this volume. This value is
returned if, for example, the volume is not a
disk, or the volume is write-locked.
Information Rebuild information is unavailable. This value
unavailable is returned when, for example, the volume is
not mounted, or mount verification is taking
place.
To rebuild a volume, either:
o Use SET VOLUME/REBUILD
o Dismount the volume, then mount the volume again using
MOUNT/REBUILD
You cannot use the /REBUILD_STATUS qualifier with any other SHOW
DEVICES qualifiers, except /OUTPUT.
9.2.13 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
9.2.14 /SIZE
/SIZE=keyword
Allows you to override the current default specified by SET
PROCESS/UNITS so that you can display disk free space in your
choice of blocks or bytes. (/SIZE is functionally equivalent to
/UNITS.)
The following keywords are valid with the /SIZE qualifier:
BLOCKS, BYTES.
If you specify /SIZE with no keyword, the default value is not
changed.
Note that you cannot use the /SIZE qualifier with the /FULL
qualifier.
9.2.15 /SYSTEM
/SYSTEM
/NOSYSTEM
Controls whether the names of installed files and files opened
by the system are displayed. Files opened by the system are those
that have been opened without the use of an ancillary control
process (ACP), such as INDEXF.SYS and QUOTA.SYS.
If you specify the /NOSYSTEM qualifier with the /FILES qualifier,
only files opened by processes are displayed. If you omit both
the /SYSTEM and /NOSYSTEM qualifiers and specify the /FILES
qualifier, the names of all files currently open on the system
are displayed.
You can use this qualifier only with the /FILES qualifier. See
the description of the /FILES qualifier for more details.
9.2.16 /UNITS
/UNITS=keyword
Allows you to override the current default specified by SET
PROCESS/UNITS so that you can display disk free space in your
choice of blocks or bytes. (/UNITS is functionally equivalent to
/SIZE.)
The following keywords are valid with the /UNITS qualifier:
BLOCKS, BYTES.
If you specify /UNITS with no keyword, the default value is not
changed.
Note that you cannot use the /UNITS qualifier with the /FULL
qualifier.
9.2.17 /WINDOWS
Displays the window count and total size of all windows for files
open on a volume. The file name and related process name and
process identification (PID) are also displayed. The letter C
in a display indicates that the file is open with "cathedral
windows" (segmented windows).
9.2.18 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

This disk is a device that performs its I/O through the Fast
Path port PNA0. Fast Path is enabled for this disk, and its
I/O will be processed on the preferred CPU, CPU 1, which is
associated with its Fast Path port PNA0.
The /FULL qualifier also displays additional information about
Fast Path devices. A Fast Path device may be either a class
device or a port device. An example of a class device is an
HSC disk, and an example of a port device is the CI. For both
Fast Path class devices and ports, the display indicates that
Fast Path is enabled and lists the current CPU ID to which that
device is assigned. Additionally, for a Fast Path port, the
display indicates the port's user-established CPU preference
(if any).
The current preferred CPU and the User Preferred CPU can be
set by using the DCL command, SET DEVICE/PREFERRED_CPU, or by
issuing a $QIO.
For more information about using Fast Path features to improve
I/O performance, see the HP OpenVMS I/O User's Reference
Manual.

User preferred CPU Id 2
This example shows a Fast Path assignment made by a user.
Normally, the User Preferred CPU ID matches the current
preferred CPU ID. The reason for the mismatch in the above
display is because CPU 2 was stopped. The port was previously
assigned to CPU 2. But when CPU 2 was stopped, the operating
system moved the port assignment from CPU 2 to CPU 1.
If CPU 2 were started, the operating system would assign the
device to the User Preferred CPU.

SHOW DISPLAY [display-device]
10.1 – Parameter
display-device
Refers to the display-device parameter specified with the SET
DISPLAY command. If you are directing application output to
multiple workstations in the same session, you can use logical
names to point to each workstation. Using the SHOW DISPLAY
command, you can specify this logical name as the display-device
parameter to see where application output will be displayed.
If you do not specify a display-device string, the logical name
DECW$DISPLAY is used.
10.2 – Qualifiers
10.2.1 /ALL
/ALL (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays all named properties and their values related to the
current display device.
10.2.2 /EXTRACT
/EXTRACT (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Obtains the authorization data for the display device and writes
that data to SYS$OUTPUT. The authorization data is obtained from
the current X authority file and is in the format expected by the
X Authority utility (xauth).
Note that when using an LBX proxy server, the extracted
authorization information references the address of the proxy
server and not the X display server.
Do not use the /EXTRACT qualifier with any other SHOW DISPLAY
qualifier.
See the description of the SET DISPLAY command for more
information.
10.2.3 /QUOTA
/QUOTA (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays the current name count and data space quota values for
the display device. This display includes the set limit and the
amount of space currently available for use.
10.2.4 /SYMBOLS
/SYMBOLS (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Defines one or more global DCL symbols for each property
displayed by the SHOW DISPLAY command. You can then use these
property symbols in DCL command procedures.
Each global symbol name follows the form:
DECW$DISPLAY_name
The following are the symbols for predefined properties:
DECW$DISPLAY_NODE
DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT
DECW$DISPLAY_SCREEN
DECW$DISPLAY_SERVER
DECW$DISPLAY_XAUTH
Note that symbols for user-defined properties have a double
underscore in the name. For example, the user-defined symbol
for the value DISK$USER:[JONES] would be defined as follows:
$ SHOW SYMBOL DECW$DISPLAY*
DECW$DISPLAY_NODE == "101.124.99.119"
DECW$DISPLAY_SCREEN == "0"
DECW$DISPLAY_SERVER == "0"
DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT == "TCPIP"
DECW$DISPLAY_XAUTH == "DISK$USER:[SMITH]SERVER1.DECW$XAUTH"
DECW$DISPLAY__JONES == "DISK$USER:[JONES]"
If a symbol name or value exceeds or violates any DCL limits or
naming conventions, the symbol is not set and an error message is
displayed.
If the display device uses a proxy server, the symbols
DECW$DISPLAY_NODE, DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT, and DECW$DISPLAY_
SERVER reflect values associated with the proxy server and not
the X display server.
10.2.5 /VALUES
/VALUES=(property-name[,...]) (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays the value for the specified property. If the value
consists of one or more items, they are displayed as a comma-
delimited list.
10.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW DISPLAY
Device: WSA1: [super]
Node: 0
Transport: LOCAL
Server: 0
Screen: 0
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ZEPHYR
$ SHOW DISPLAY
Device: WSA2: [super]
Node: ZEPHYR
Transport: DECNET
Server: 0
Screen: 0
$ SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL: RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK
In this example, you are logged in to your workstation, here
referred to as node 0. (0 is the standard shorthand notation
for representing your node.) You want to run the DECwindows
Clock on your workstation and display it on another node,
ZEPHYR.
Assuming you are authorized to display applications on ZEPHYR,
you redirect the application's output to ZEPHYR with the SET
DISPLAY command and enter the SHOW DISPLAY command to verify
the location of the redirected display. You then run Clock.
Note that a new workstation display device, WSA2, is created
when you enter the SET DISPLAY/CREATE command.
2.$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/VALUE=(NAME=DECW$SESSION_MANAGER,-
_$ SET="tcpip/zephyr:9510")
$ SHOW DISPLAY/SYMBOLS/ALL
Device: WSA23: [super]
Node: 0
Transport: DECNET
Server: 0
Screen: 0
User-defined values:
"DECW$SESSION_MANAGER" = "tcpip/zephyr:9510"
$ SHOW SYMBOL DECW$DISPLAY__DECW$SESSION_MANAGER
DECW$DISPLAY__DECW$SESSION_MANAGER == "tcpip/zephyr:9510"
In this example, you create a display device, and set the
DECW$SESSION_MANAGER property to the network address of a
session manager on remote node ZEPHYR using port number 9510.
The SHOW DISPLAY/SYMBOLS command then defines a DCL symbol for
the port value.

ABORTING means that the job is halting prior to
normal completion and will not continue processing.
A SUSPENDED state means that the job stopped during
processing, but should continue when the cause
of the SUSPENDED state is resolved. A STALLED or
SUSPENDED state means that the job stopped during
processing, but should continue when the cause
of the STALLED or SUSPENDED state is resolved.
PROCESSING is the executing state for server
queues. PRINTING is the executing state for printer
and terminal queues. STARTING means the job is
beginning to be processed.
HOLDING Requests the display of jobs on hold. Holding
status indicates that the job is being held in
the queue indefinitely.
PENDING Requests the display of jobs with pending status.
Pending status indicates that the job is waiting
its turn to execute.
RETAINED Requests the display of jobs retained in the queue
after execution. Retained status indicates that the
job has completed but remains in the queue.

File: _DKA1:[ESTES.DAILY]SEARCH.TXT;2 (printing copy 2)
In this example, the SHOW ENTRY command displays the current
jobname entries beginning with the letter "S" owned by ESTES
on all queues. The /FULL qualifier lists the submission
information, the full file specification, and the current
settings for the job.
Note that entry 629 specified the /COPIES, /NOFEED, and
/PASSALL qualifiers to the PRINT command. The /NOFEED qualifier
suppresses automatic form feeds. The /PASSALL qualifier
suppresses formatting (including form feeds and carriage return
characters) performed by the print symbiont.
3.$ SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS.COM

199 ASSIGNMENTS JONES Executing
Submitted 19-DEC-2001 08:36 /KEEP /NOLOG/ NOPRINT
/PRIORITY=100
File: DUA2:[JONES]ASSIGNMENTS.COM;34
In this example, JONES submits ASSIGNMENTS.COM for batch
processing. Because JONES does not specify a specific queue,
the job is entered into the generic SYS$BATCH queue to await
processing. After performing other tasks, JONES checks the job
status and sees that the file is now executing. Note that the
job entry migrated from a generic to an execution batch queue
and that JONES was able to check the job status without knowing
the specific batch queue name. If the user did not specify an
entry number, all jobs would have been displayed.

17.3.16 /TERMINATION_DATE
/TERMINATION_DATE=date_time
Allows listing licenses using termination dates as selection
criteria.
17.3.17 /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS
On Alpha systems, displays information in the License Unit
Requirement Table (LURT). On Integrity server systems, displays
information about the type of system, the number of active cores,
and the number of sockets. The /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier is
incompatible with the product-name parameter and with the /BRIEF
and /PRODUCER qualifiers.
17.3.18 /USAGE
Tells you how many license units are loaded, how many are
currently allocated, and how many are currently available, as
well as the license type for each product on the system. Use with
the /FULL qualifier to display complete information-including the
PID, process name, node, or user name-for each instance of use
of the product. You need group privilege to see the list of users
in your group who have allocated license units; you need world
privilege to see the list of users in all groups.
In an OpenVMS Cluster, if you own multiple license types for a
single product, you are limited to viewing the usage information
for the license type loaded on the node from which you are
executing the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command. To find out the usage
of the other license type loaded on another node, issue the
command on that node. You can also use the System Management
(SYSMAN) utility to do this.
In an OpenVMS Cluster, usage information is limited to the local
license type. For example, VAX and Alpha availability licenses
are considered by LMF to be different license types. If you
are running both VAX and Alpha systems in a cluster, usage
information for availability licenses is limited to the local
system type. For example, if you have DEC C installed on all
nodes in your OpenVMS Cluster, you can display DEC C license
allocation on all the VAX nodes in the cluster from any VAX node
with DEC C installed, but you cannot display the DEC C license
allocation on the Alpha nodes.
Usage information is not available for unlimited licenses (a
license with 0 units). Clusterwide usage information is not
available for personal use or NO_SHARE licenses. See the HP
OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual for more information
on license types.
17.3.19 /WARNING_INTERVAL
/WARNING_INTERVAL=n
NOWARNING_INTERVAL
Displays a warning stating the number of licenses that will
terminate in n days. The default is 30 days.
17.3.20 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

The SHOW LICENSE command in this example lists the current
users of the activity license for the product DECwrite. For
each instance of use of the product, the process identification
(PID), process name, node, and user name are identified. The
units column shows the number of units allocated for each
particular invocation of the product. The last line displays
the units loaded when the LICENSE LOAD command was given, the
total number of units currently allocated, and the total of
unused (available for others to use) units.

This example shows a personal use license. The DEC TEST_PER
product has enough units for six reservations with 100 units
for each reservation. The license database (LDB) only has
a total of four names in the reserve list attached to this
product. If the license administrator (usually the system
manager) wants to take full advantage of this license and adds
2 more names to the reserve list, he should use the following
commands to update the product information:
$ LICENSE MODIFY TEST_PER/RESERVE=(NAME, ANOTHER_NAME)/ADD
$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_PER
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_PER
If this product is used in a cluster environment, you may use
the SYSMAN utility to unload and load the license.

Units loaded: 620 Units allocated: 1220 Units available: ***
In this example, the number of units allocated appears to be
greater than the total units loaded and the units available
value is three asterisks (***).
When you see three asterisks (***) as the number of units
available, it is generally not a cause for alarm. This
situation might arise when the license database (LDB) has
been updated on disk, but the new information has not been
propagated to the license database in memory on all nodes in
the cluster. This node, SLTG24, happens to be one of the nodes
that has not received the latest LDB information.
To update the information in the license database in memory for
the TEST_CAP product, enter the following commands:
$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_CAP
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_CAP
The next time you issue the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command the
three asterisks (***) in display should disappear. If,
however, you are using multiple LDB files in a cluster, you
should read the section on the license database in the HP
OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.

OPENVMS-I64-HAOE HP Virtual Machine guest, no usage information
Issuing the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command from an OpenVMS guest
cluster member displays the text "Virtual Machine guest, no
usage information" for PCL licenses loaded on the system. There
is essentially no usage charge against the license units for
OpenVMS guest nodes since multiple guests can run on the same
host using the same license units.
18 – LOGICAL
Displays translations, the level of translation, and the logical
name table for a specified logical name. The SHOW LOGICAL command
performs iterative translations.
Requires read (R) access to the table in which a logical name is
cataloged to display information about the logical name.
Format
SHOW LOGICAL [logical-name[:][,...]]
18.1 – Parameter
logical-name[:][,...]
Specifies one or more logical names whose translations you want
to display. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard
characters are allowed; however, if a wildcard character is used,
iterative translation is not done.
The logical name is translated iteratively up to a number
of times determined by the system (from 9 to 11). That is,
translations are examined to see if they are also logical names.
18.2 – Qualifiers
18.2.1 /ACCESS_MODE
/ACCESS_MODE=mode
Displays names defined in the specified access mode and any inner
access modes. You can specify one of the following keywords to
indicate the access mode: USER_MODE, SUPERVISOR_MODE, EXECUTIVE_
MODE, or KERNEL_MODE.
The default value for this qualifier is USER_MODE; by default any
definitions in all four access modes are displayed.
18.2.2 /ALL
/ALL (default)
Indicates that all logical names in the specified logical name
tables are to be displayed. If you do not enter the /PROCESS,
/JOB, /GROUP, /SYSTEM, or /TABLE qualifier, all logical names
in the tables specified by the logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL are
displayed.
18.2.3 /CLUSTER
Displays all the logical names in all clusterwide tables (for
example, the LNM$CLUSTER and LNM$SYSCLUSTER tables).
18.2.4 /DESCENDANTS
/DESCENDANTS
/NODESCENDANTS (default)
Controls whether the system displays names from the specified
logical name table and any descendant tables. A descendant table
is created by the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command, with the /PARENT_
TABLE qualifier specifying its parent table. If you use the
/DESCENDANTS qualifier, you must also use the /TABLE qualifier.
18.2.5 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
18.2.6 /FULL
Displays more detailed information for the specified logical
name. The information includes the access mode, attributes, the
translation, and the logical name table.
18.2.7 /GROUP
Indicates that only the group logical name table is to
be searched. The /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with the
/TABLE=LNM$GROUP qualifier. If you specify the /GROUP qualifier
and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the
group table are displayed.
18.2.8 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
18.2.9 /JOB
Indicates that only the job logical name table is to be searched.
The /JOB qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$JOB
qualifier. If you specify the /JOB qualifier and you do not also
specify a logical name, all names in the job logical name table
are displayed.
18.2.10 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the SHOW LOGICAL command is sent.
By default, the output of the SHOW LOGICAL command is sent to the
current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the
output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
18.2.11 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Get the next page of information.
Return, Enter, Space
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
18.2.12 /PROCESS
Indicates that only the process logical name table is to
be searched. The /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with the
/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier. If you specify the /PROCESS
qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names
in the process table are displayed.
18.2.13 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
18.2.14 /STRUCTURE
/STRUCTURE
/NOSTRUCTURE (default)
Controls whether the system displays the "family tree" of all
accessible logical name tables. The display includes the two
logical name directory tables (process and system) and all
logical name tables cataloged in these directory tables. Any
descendant logical name tables are shown under their parent
tables.
If you specify the /STRUCTURE qualifier, you cannot use any other
qualifiers except /ACCESS_MODE, /FULL, and /OUTPUT.
18.2.15 /SYSTEM
Indicates that only the system logical name table is to
be searched. The /SYSTEM qualifier is synonymous with the
/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifier. If you specify the /SYSTEM qualifier
and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the
system table are displayed.
18.2.16 /TABLE
/TABLE=(name[,...])
Specifies the tables you want to search. If you specify only one
table, you can omit the parentheses. The asterisk (*) and the
percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. Names with
wildcards are used to match table names. Names without wildcard
characters are treated both as table names and table search lists
(whichever is appropriate).
You can use the /TABLE qualifier to specify the following:
o A user-defined logical name table (created with the
CREATE/NAME_TABLE command)
o The process, group, or system logical name tables
o The process or system directory tables
If you specify the table name by using a logical name that
translates to more than one table, then each table is searched
in the order specified. For example, if you specify SHOW
LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$FILE_DEV, and LNM$FILE_DEV is equated to
LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, then the
process, job, group, and system tables are searched, in that
order.
If you do not specify the /TABLE qualifier, the default is
/TABLE=LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.
18.2.17 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
18.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW LOGICAL/PROCESS
(LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
"SYS$COMMAND" = "_TTB4:"
"SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
"SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
"SYS$ERROR" = "_TTB4:"
"SYS$INPUT" = "_TTB4:"
"SYS$LOGIN" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
"SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE" = "WORK6:"
"SYS$OUTPUT" = "_TTB4:"
"SYS$OUTPUT" = "DKA2:"
"SYS$SCRATCH" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all
process logical names and their translations. (Note that
/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS would produce the same display as /PROCESS.)
2.$ SHOW LOGICAL INFILE
"INFILE" = "WORK6:[LOGAN]PAYROLL.EXE" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the
translation for the logical name INFILE. The response indicates
that the logical name was found in the process logical name
table.
3.$ SHOW LOGICAL/GROUP
.
.
.
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all
group logical names and their translations. (Note that
/TABLE=LNM$GROUP would produce the same display as /GROUP.)
4.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=SYSTEM SYS$LIBRARY
"SYS$LIBRARY" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the
translation of the logical name SYS$LIBRARY in the system
table. The response indicates that SYS$LIBRARY is defined
in the system table, and that the logical name has two
translations.
5.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$GROUP/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM SYS$DISK
"SYS$DISK" = "ZZZ3:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example is qualified by both
the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP and /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifiers. The
response indicates that the logical name SYS$DISK was found in
the system logical name table. When you enter two conflicting
qualifiers, as in this example, only the last qualifier you
specify is used.
6.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the logical
names in the process directory table. Each name is either a
table name, or a name that translates iteratively to a table.
19 – MEMORY
Displays the availability and usage of those system resources
that are related to memory.
Format
SHOW MEMORY
19.1 – Qualifiers
19.1.1 /ALL
/ALL (default)
Displays all available information, that is, information
displayed by the /FILES, /PHYSICAL_PAGES, /POOL, and /SLOTS
qualifiers.
19.1.2 /BITMAP
/BITMAP (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays information about memory use by write bitmaps (WBM) used
with Host-Based Volume Shadowing (HBVS). If the system parameter
SHADOWING is set to 0, no information about bitmaps is displayed
because WBM is used only with HBVS.
Note that the memory consumption displayed by SHOW MEMORY is
often greater than that displayed by SHOW DEVICE /BITMAP, which
displays the exact size (in bytes) of the bitmap. The memory used
by a bitmap is allocated in units of pages; if a bitmap uses part
of a page of memory, the rest of that page is unavailable for
use.
19.1.3 /BUFFER_OBJECTS
/BUFFER_OBJECTS (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Displays information about system resources used by buffer
objects.
19.1.4 /CACHE
/CACHE[=(keyword[,...])]
Displays information about the Virtual I/O Cache facility or
the Extended File Cache facility, depending on which is loaded.
The Cache facility information is displayed as part of the SHOW
MEMORY and SHOW MEMORY/CACHE/FULL commands.
If the Extended File Cache is loaded, you can specify the
following keywords and options:
VOLUME[=device] Requests display of volume-level statistics
for the specified volume(s). If no device
is specified, defaults to SYS$DISK. Device
specifications may be wildcarded; if so, the
device specification must be based on the
physical device name. Specify VOLUME=* to see
statistics for all volumes in cache.
FILE=filespec Requests display of file-level statistics for
the specified file(s) in cache. The filespec
must contain an explicit or implicit device
specification. The filespec may be wildcarded
according to RMS rules. Specify FILE=dev:*.*
to see statistics for all files in cache for a
device. Partially wild file specifications that
are satisfied by large numbers of files on disk
may incur significant processing overhead during
display. By default, both open and closed files
are displayed (use the OPEN and CLOSED keywords
to further restrict which files are displayed).
Note that this command may fail if you select a
large number of files for display. If you receive
an error message, reduce the number of selected
files and reissue the command.
TOPQIO[=n] Requests display of file-level statistics for
the n files in cache with the highest overall QIO
count (n defaults to 10).
TOPHITRATE[=n] Requests display of file-level statistics for the
n files in cache with the highest overall cache
hit rate (n defaults to 10).
OPEN Include only open files in the display
(default for TOPQIO and TOPHITRATE).
CLOSED Include only closed files in the
display.
19.1.5 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
19.1.6 /FILES
Displays information about the use of each paging and swapping
file currently installed.
19.1.7 /FULL
When used with /POOL, displays additional information about pool
area.
When used with /CACHE, displays additional information about the
file data cache that is loaded (either VIOC or XFC).
This qualifier is ignored unless the /CACHE or /POOL qualifier is
specified explicitly.
19.1.8 /GH_REGIONS
On Alpha, displays information about the granularity hint regions
(GHR) that have been established. For each of these regions,
information is displayed about the size of the region, the amount
of free memory, the amount of memory in use, and the amount of
memory released to OpenVMS from the region. The granularity hint
regions information is also displayed as part of SHOW MEMORY,
SHOW MEMORY/ALL, and SHOW MEMORY/FULL commands.
19.1.9 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
19.1.10 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
process default output stream or device, identified by the
logical name SYS$OUTPUT.
If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you
enter a file specification, it cannot include asterisk (*) and
the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
19.1.11 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of memory information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.

Dynamic Memory Usage (in bytes)
Shows the use of the nonpaged and paged pool areas that
allocate variably sized blocks.
1 Total Total number of bytes set aside for each area.
2 Free Total amount of free space in each dynamic memory
area.
3 In Use Amount of space currently allocated from each
area. This number is the total size minus the
number of free bytes.
4 Largest Size of the largest contiguous block in each area.
For the paged pool, this number represents the
largest block that can be allocated. For the
nonpaged pool, an allocation request larger
than this number will cause the nonpaged pool
to grow (if other constraints allow growth). This
attribute does not apply to the lock manager, as
all items for the lock manager are the same size.

Dynamic Memory
Shows the use of dynamic memory areas consisting of variably
sized blocks.
1 Current Size Current size (in 512-byte pagelets on Alpha
) of each dynamic memory area. For the lock
manager display, the unit of measurement is
megabytes.
2 Initial Size Initial size of nonpaged dynamic memory and
the name of the system parameter (NPAGEDYN)
that controls this size.
3 Maximum Size Maximum size to which nonpaged dynamic
memory can grow and the name of the system
parameter (NPAGEVIR) that controls this
size.
4 Free Space Amount of free space in each dynamic memory
area.
5 Space in Use Amount of space currently allocated from
each area.
6 Largest Block Size of the largest contiguous area in each
pool area.
7 Smallest Block Size of the smallest hole (free block) in
each pool area.
8 Free Blocks Total number of free blocks in each pool
area. The size of this number is a measure
of pool fragmentation.
9 Blocks LEQU 64 Number of free blocks that are 64 bytes
long or shorter. This number is another
measure of pool fragmentation because
while allocation of these small blocks is
unlikely, they contribute to the allocation
time whenever an allocation request is made.
10 Empty Pages Number of pages that do not have any packets
allocated.
11 Free Packets Total number of packets not in use. This
number is the sum of free packets from
partially used pages and the packets of
all Empty Pages.
12 Hits Total number of packet allocations.
13 Misses Total number of packet allocation requests
that could not be satisfied because the
number of packets requested were not
available. A miss causes dynamic memory
to expand by one page to satisfy the packet
allocation request.
14 Expansions Total number of times that dynamic memory
increased by a page to satisfy packet
allocation requests.
15 Packet Size Packet size of 256 bytes, which is used by
the lock manager to hold either a lock block
data structure or a resource block data
structure.
16 Lookasides Total number of memory packets placed
Free Blocks on "lookaside lists". If a packet of the
correct size is on a lookaside list, it can
be allocated very quickly and efficiently,
however, it cannot then be used as part of
any other size packet. An excess of packets
on the lookaside list can be a cause for the
inability to allocate other sizes.
17 Over-limit Total number of memory packets that exist
Lookaside Blocks on "lookaside lists" that are no longer
actively used because the SYSGEN parameter
PAGED_LAL_SIZE was lowered. These packets
will be available for use again if the
SYSGEN parameter is increased to include
them, or if there was a paged pool shortage
and they are reclaimed. If there are no
lookaside list packets on these "over-limit"
lists then this line will not appear.

values displayed for quotas reflect any quota reductions
resulting from subprocess creation. The values displayed for
limits reflect the resources available to a process at creation.
22.2.15 /RAD
Displays home resource affinity domain (RAD).
OpenVMS support for RADs is available on the Alpha GS series
systems and Integrity server NUMA capable systems.
22.2.16 /RIGHTS
/RIGHTS (default)
/NORIGHTS
Displays the current rights for the specified process. Use the
/NORIGHTS qualifier with the /PRIVILEGES qualifier to suppress
the rights display.
22.2.17 /SCHEDULING_CLASS
Displays the scheduling class of the specified process.
22.2.18 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
22.2.19 /SHELVING
Displays whether the process automatically unshelves files.
22.2.20 /SUBPROCESSES
Displays the current subprocesses in hierarchical order.
22.2.21 /SYMLINK

the status of the symlink wildcard search mode.
22.2.22 /TOKEN
/TOKEN (Alpha/Integrity servers Only)
Displays the current token size as either Traditional (255 bytes)
or Extended (4000 bytes). (A token is any element in a command
line that is bounded by spaces. For example, the command COPY
X.TXT Y.TXT contains three tokens.) The token size is determined
by the setting of bit 1 in the DCL_CTLFLAGS system parameter. You
can use the SET PROCESS/TOKEN command to change the token size.
22.2.23 /UNITS
Displays whether the process currently reports disk space
in bytes or blocks. You can change this setting using SET
PROCESS/UNITS.
22.2.24 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the

Number of Free Blocks 7 Free Blocks LEQU 32 Bytes 3
The SHOW PROCESS command in this example displays the use of
dynamic memory areas for the current process, MALIK. These
areas are described as follows:
Current size Displays the current size in bytes and
pagelets on Alpha of each dynamic memory
area.
Free space Displays the amount of free space in each
dynamic memory area.
Space in use Displays the amount of space currently
allocated from each area.
Largest block Displays the size of the largest contiguous
area in each pool area.
Smallest block Displays the size of the smallest free block
in each pool area.
Free blocks Displays the total number of free blocks in
each pool area. The size of this number is a
measure of pool fragmentation.
Blocks LEQU 32 Displays the number of free blocks that are
Blocks LEQU 64 32 bytes or 64 bytes or shorter on Alpha.
(Alpha) This number is another measure of pool
fragmentation, because while allocation
of these small blocks is unlikely, they
contribute to the allocation time whenever
an allocation request is made.
9.$ SHOW PROCESS REDSOX::RAMIREZ
27-OCT-2004 23:40:20.04 User: RAMIREZ Process ID: 19182004

31-DEC-2001 10:38:32.48 User: RALSTON Process ID: 20C0011B
Node: AAAAAA Process name: "_RTA1:"
Image Dump: on
The SHOW PROCESS command in this example shows that the image
dump capability for the RALSTON process is enabled. This causes
the contents of the address space to be written to the file
named SYS$LOGIN:(image-name).DMP (where the image name is
the same as the file name) when an image terminates due to
an unhandled error.
See the SET PROCESS/DUMP command for additional information.
12$ SHOW/SYMLINK
$17-SEP-2009 05:31:34.92 User: SYSTEM Process ID: 20A0045C

This example shows that wildcard is not used for symlink
search.
23 – PROTECTION
Displays the current default process protection to be applied to
all new files created during the terminal session or batch job.
Format
SHOW PROTECTION
23.1 – Example
$ SHOW PROTECTION
SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RE, WORLD=NO ACCESS
$ SET PROTECTION=(GROUP:RWED,WORLD:RE)/DEFAULT
$ SHOW PROTECTION
SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RWED, WORLD=RE
The SHOW PROTECTION command in this example requests a display
of the current protection defaults and the user identifiers;
the SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT command changes the file access
allowed to other users in the same group and to miscellaneous
system users. The next SHOW PROTECTION command shows the
modified protection defaults.
24 – QUEUE
Displays information about queues and the jobs that are currently
in queues.
Requires read (R) access to the job.
o Displays characteristic names and numbers that are available
on queues (see /CHARACTERISTICS).
o Displays form names and numbers that are available on queues
(see /FORM).
o Provides information about the queue manager(s) on the system
or OpenVMS Cluster (see /MANAGERS).
Format
SHOW QUEUE [queue-name]
24.1 – Parameter
queue-name
Specifies the name of the queue for which you want information
displayed. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard
characters are allowed. The default value for the queue-name
parameter is the asterisk (*) wildcard character. If no queue
name is specified, information on all queues is displayed.
24.2 – Qualifiers
24.2.1 /ALL_JOBS
Displays all the jobs in the specified queues. You must have read
(R) access to the job to show information about any jobs.
24.2.2 /BATCH
Displays only batch queues and jobs in those queues.
24.2.3 /BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a one-line description of each queue and jobs that are
in it. This information includes the name, type, and status of
each queue. It also includes the entry number, the job name,
the user name, and the status for each job shown. The /FULL and
/FILES qualifiers override the /BRIEF qualifier.
24.2.4 /BY_JOB_STATUS
/BY_JOB_STATUS=(keyword-list)
Displays queues that contain jobs that match the specified
status. By default, jobs owned by the user are displayed. Specify
the status with one or more of the following keywords:
EXECUTING Requests the display of jobs in any of the
following states:
ABORTING STALLED
EXECUTING STARTING
PRINTING SUSPENDED
PROCESSING
ABORTING means that the job is halting prior to
normal completion and will not continue processing.
A SUSPENDED state means that the job stopped during
processing, but should continue when the cause of
the SUSPENDED state is resolved. PROCESSING is the
executing state for server queues. PRINTING is the
executing state for printer and terminal queues.
STARTING means the job is beginning to be processed
or printed. A STALLED or SUSPENDED state means
that the job stopped during processing, but should
continue when the cause of the STALLED or SUSPENDED
state is resolved.
HOLDING Requests the display of jobs on hold. Holding
status indicates that the job is being held in
the queue indefinitely.
PENDING Requests the display of jobs with pending status.
Pending status indicates that the job is waiting
its turn to execute.
RETAINED Requests the display of jobs retained in the queue
after execution. Retained status indicates that the
job has completed, but it remains in the queue.
TIMED_ Requests the display of jobs on hold until a
RELEASE specified time. Timed release status indicates that
the job is being held in the queue for execution at
a specified time.
Note that if you specify the qualifier without a keyword, the
system will only display queues that actually contain jobs.
24.2.5 /DEVICE
/DEVICE[=(keyword-list)]
Displays a particular type of queue and jobs in that queue.
Specify the type of device queue with one or more of the
following keywords:
PRINTER Requests the display of print queues.
SERVER Requests the display of server queues.
TERMINAL Requests the display of terminal queues.
You can specify more than one keyword. If you do not specify a
keyword with the /DEVICE qualifier, all printer, terminal, and
server queues are displayed.
24.2.6 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
24.2.7 /FILES
Adds to the display the list of files associated with each job.
The /FILES qualifier overrides the /BRIEF qualifier.
24.2.8 /FULL
Displays complete information about queues, jobs contained
in queues, and the files associated with the jobs. The /FULL
qualifier overrides the /BRIEF qualifier.
24.2.9 /GENERIC
Displays only generic queues and jobs in those queues. A generic
queue is not an execution queue. Its function is to hold jobs
of a particular type (line printer jobs, for example) and direct
them to execution queues for processing.
24.2.10 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
24.2.11 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default,
the output of the SHOW QUEUE command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output
to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
24.2.12 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.

page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
24.2.13 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
24.2.14 /SUMMARY
Displays the total number of executing jobs, pending jobs,
holding jobs, retained jobs, and timed release jobs for each
queue. For output queues, the total block count for pending jobs
is also shown.
24.2.15 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

This SHOW QUEUE display includes the date and time at which a
retained job completed and the queue on which it executed. You
can specify the /RETAIN qualifier with the PRINT, SUBMIT, or
SET ENTRY command to specify the circumstances under which you
want your job to be retained in a queue. In this example, the
user set job retention to be one hour after job completion.
Depending on the queue's job retention policy, the job might be
deleted from the queue at 16:56. (See the PRINT, SUBMIT, or SET
ENTRY command descriptions for more information on the /RETAIN
qualifier.)
24.4 /CHARACTERISTICS
Displays information about queue characteristics defined for the
system. A characteristic is a user-defined attribute of a batch
or output queue, such as ink color.
Format
SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS
[characteristic-name]
24.4.1 – Parameter
characteristic-name
Specifies the name of a characteristic. The asterisk (*) and the
percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default
value for the characteristic-name parameter is the asterisk
wildcard (*). Thus, information about all characteristics is
displayed when you do not specify a characteristic name.
You create a characteristic name with the DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC
command. You can then assign it to a queue by using the
INITIALIZE/QUEUE, the SET QUEUE, or the START/QUEUE command
with the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier. You can also specify
characteristics for a job by using the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier
with the PRINT, the SUBMIT, or the SET ENTRY command.
24.4.2 – Qualifier
24.4.2.1 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default the
output of the SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command is sent to the
current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the
output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The file specification may not include any wildcard characters.
If you enter a partial file specification (for example,
specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and
.LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
24.4.3 – Examples

define the size and type paper and the layout of text that are
used for print jobs.
Format
SHOW QUEUE/FORM [form-name]
24.5.1 – Parameter
form-name
Specifies the name of the form. The asterisk (*) and the percent
sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for
the form-name parameter is an asterisk (*), which means that the
names of all forms on the system are displayed.
24.5.2 – Qualifiers
24.5.2.1 /BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a brief description (form names, numbers, and
descriptions) about the forms on the system.
24.5.2.2 /FULL
Displays a full description (including paper size and margin
settings) about the forms on the system.
24.5.2.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]

Database location: DISK1:[QUEUES]
Queue manager TRANSFER_MANAGER, stopped
/ON=(AAAAAA, BBBBBB, EEEEEE)
Database location: DISK1:[TRANSFER]
The SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS/FULL command displays complete
information about a queue manager on a system or cluster.
2.$ SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS
Queue manager BATCHQ_MANAGER, running, on BBBBBB::
Queue manager PRINTQ_MANAGER, starting, on AAAAAA::
Queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, running, on FFFFFF::
Queue manager TRANSFER_MANAGER, stopped
The SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS command in this example shows
information about the queue manager in brief format. The /BRIEF
qualifier is the default and does not need to be specified.
3.$ SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS/FULL SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER
Master file: SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]QMAN$MASTER.DAT;
Queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, running, on FFFFFF::
/ON=(FFFFFF, EEEEEE, CCCCCC, BBBBBB, AAAAAA, *)
Database location: DISK1:[QUEUES]
The command, SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS/FULL SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, in
this example shows a request for a specific queue manager by
name.
25 – QUOTA
Displays the current disk quota that is authorized for a specific
user on a specific disk. This display includes a calculation of
the amount of space available and the amount of overdraft that is
permitted.
Requires read (R) access to the quota file in order to display
the quotas of other users.
Format
SHOW QUOTA
25.1 – Qualifiers
25.1.1 /DISK
/DISK[=device-name[:]]
Specifies the disk whose quotas are to be examined. By default,
the current default disk (defined by the logical name SYS$DISK)
is examined.
25.1.2 /USER
/USER=uic or identifier
Specifies which user's quotas are to be displayed. By default,
the current user's quotas are displayed.
25.2 – Examples
1.$ SHOW QUOTA
User [360,010] has 2780 blocks used, 7220 available,
of 10000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 500 blocks on DISK$
The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the amount of
disk space authorized, used, and still available on the current
default disk for the present user. The permitted overdraft in
this example is 500 blocks.
2.$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,007]/DISK=XXX1:
%SYSTEM-F-NODISKQUOTA, no disk quota entry for this UIC
The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the fact that
the user with user identification code (UIC) [360,007] has no
disk quota allocation on device XXX1.
3.$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,111]
User [360,111] has 27305 blocks used, 2305 OVERDRAWN,
of 25000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 4000 blocks on DISK$
The SHOW QUOTA command in this example illustrates a user with
an overdrawn quota.
26 – RMS_DEFAULT
Displays the current default values for the multiblock count, the
multibuffer count, the network transfer size, the prolog level,
the extend quantity, and the query lock option.
Format
SHOW RMS_DEFAULT
26.1 – Qualifier
26.1.1 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Specifies the file to which the display is written (default is
SYS$OUTPUT). The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard
characters are not allowed in the file specification. If you
enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification
(for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default
output file name and .LIS the default output file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
26.2 – Example
$ SHOW RMS_DEFAULT
MULTI- | MULTIBUFFER COUNTS | NETWORK
BLOCK | Indexed Relative Sequential | BLOCK
COUNT | Disk Magtape Unit Record | COUNT
Process 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0
System 32 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 8
Prolog Extend Quantity QUERY_LOCK
Process 0 0 System
System 0 0 Enabled
CONTENTION_POLICY
Process System
System Never
The SHOW RMS_DEFAULT command in this example shows a system
multiblock count of 32 and a network block count of 8. These
are typical values.
27 – ROOT
Displays the current value of the system root and, if defined,
the process root.
Format
SHOW ROOT
27.1 – Example
$ SHOW ROOT
DISK1:[000000]
$ SET ROOT DISK5:[ PSX$ROOT]
$ SHOW ROOT
DISK5:[ PSX$ROOT]
$
The SHOW ROOT command in this example displays the current root
path. The SET ROOT command changes these defaults, and the next
SHOW ROOT command displays the new default root.
28 – SECURITY
Displays the name, class, and profile of a protected object.
Format
SHOW SECURITY object-name
28.1 – Parameter
object-name
Specifies the name of an object whose security profile is to
be displayed. If the object class is SECURITY_CLASS, you can
specify an asterisk (*) as object-name to see a display of
all security class objects. An object name of the FILE class
(explicitly or implicitly specified) can include the asterisk
(*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters; however,
wildcard characters are not allowed in any class other than FILE
or SECURITY_CLASS.
28.2 – Qualifiers
28.2.1 /BACKUP
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE
qualifier. The /BACKUP qualifier selects files according to the
dates of their most recent backups (rather than by the creation,
expiration, or modification date). By default, SHOW SECURITY
selects files according to their creation date.
28.2.2 /BEFORE
/BEFORE[=time]
Selects only those files dated prior to the specified time.
You can specify time as absolute time, as a combination of
absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords:
BOOT, LOGIN, TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. Specify
the /CREATED or the /MODIFIED qualifier to indicate the time
attribute to be used as the basis for selection. The /CREATED
qualifier is the default.
For complete information on specifying time values, see the
OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.
28.2.3 /BY_OWNER
/BY_OWNER[=uic]
Selects files whose owner's UIC matches the UIC specified with
uic. The default UIC is that of the current process.
Specify the UIC by using the standard format described in the HP
OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
28.2.4 /CLASS
/CLASS=class
Specifies the class of the object whose profile is to be
displayed. By default, the command assumes the object class is
FILE. Object class keywords are as follows:
CAPABILITY LOGICAL_NAME_TABLE
COMMON_EVENT_CLUSTER QUEUE
DEVICE RESOURCE_DOMAIN
FILE SECURITY_CLASS
GROUP_GLOBAL_SECTION SYSTEM_GLOBAL_SECTION
ICC_ASSOCIATION VOLUME
28.2.5 /CREATED
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE
qualifier. The /CREATED qualifier selects files according to the
date they were created (rather than by the backup, expiration,
or modification date). By default, SHOW SECURITY selects files
according to their creation date.
28.2.6 /EXCLUDE
/EXCLUDE=(filespec[,...])
Excludes the specified files from the SHOW SECURITY operation.
You can include a directory, but not a device, in the file
specification. You cannot use relative version numbers to exclude
a specific version.
28.2.7 /EXPIRED
Modifies the time specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE
qualifier. The /EXPIRED qualifier selects files according to
their expiration dates rather than by the backup, creation,
or modification date. (The expiration date is set with the SET
FILE/EXPIRATION_DATE command.) By default, files are selected
according to their creation date.
28.2.8 /MODIFIED
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE
qualifier. The /MODIFIED qualifier selects files according to
the dates on which they were last modified, rather than by the
backup, creation, or expiration date. By default, files are
selected according to their creation date.
28.2.9 /SINCE
/SINCE[=time]
Selects only those files dated on or after the specified time.
You can specify time as absolute time, as a combination of
absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords:
BOOT, JOB_LOGIN, LOGIN, TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.
Specify the /CREATED or the /MODIFIED qualifier to indicate
the time attribute to be used as the basis for selection. The
/CREATED qualifier is the default.
For complete information on specifying time values, see the
OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.
28.2.10 /SYMLINK
/SYMLINK=keyword
The valid keywords for this qualifier are [NO]WILDCARD,
[NO]ELLIPSIS, and [NO]TARGET. Descriptions are as follows:
Keyword Explanation
NOWILDCARD Indicates that symlinks are disabled during directory
wildcard searches.
WILDCARD Indicates that symlinks are enabled during wildcard
searches.
NOELLIPSIS Indicates that symlinks are matched for all wildcard
fields except for ellipsis.
ELLIPSIS Equivalent to WILDCARD (included for command
symmetry).
TARGET Indicates that if the target file of the file
specification is a symlink, then the target file
is followed.
NOTARGET Indicates that the command operates on the target
file even if it is a symlink.
If the file named in the SHOW SECURITY command is a symlink, the
command by default operates on the symlink itself.
28.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW SECURITY LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE /CLASS=LOGICAL_NAME_TABLE
LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE object of class LOGICAL_NAME_TABLE
Owner: [SYSTEM]
Protection: (System: RWC, Owner: RWC, Group: R, World: R)

30 – SHADOW
Valid for Alpha and Integrity server systems only.
Displays the status of a specified shadow set on the system.
If no qualifiers are specified, displays a summary of the device.
Format
SHOW SHADOW [DSAn[:]]
30.1 – Parameter
DSAn[:]
Specifies the virtual unit name of the shadow set for which
information is to be displayed.
If no virtual unit is specified, information is displayed for all
mounted shadow sets.
30.2 – Qualifiers
30.2.1 /ACTIVE
Displays one of three possible states:
o Merge or Copy is not required
o Copy is in progress on node node-name, n% completed
o Merge is in progress on node node-name, n% completed
30.2.2 /BY_PRIORITY
/BY_PRIORITY
/BY_PRIORITY DSAn:
Displays a list of shadow sets on the system, sorted in the order
in which a recovery operation (copy, full merge, or minimerge)
is scheduled to occur. If a copy or merge is active, the display
shows on which system it is occurring. This list is specific to
the system on which the command is executed, so the list might
vary across systems in a cluster. Higher numbers indicate a
higher priority.
Tip: When the command specifies a virtual unit (DSAn:), the
display shows the current priority and status of just this
virtual unit. If any copy or merge operations are in progress,
the system on which the operation is occurring is also displayed,
along with the operation's progress.
30.2.3 /COPY
Displays one of three possible states:
o Copy is not required
o Copy is pending
o Copy is in progress on node node-name, n% completed

Outputs any messages to the specified file.
30.2.8 /POLICY
/POLICY=HBMM
Displays the host-based minimerge (HBMM) policy associated with
the specified devices.
HBMM is the only value supported for /POLICY, and it must be
included.
If the command is issued with no device specification,
information is output for all devices. There might be a
noticeable delay between the output of device information or
before returning to the DCL command prompt. This delay is normal.
30.2.9 /SITE
/SITE=n
Displays every shadow set member device (and the virtual device
of which it is a member) that has the site value specified by n.
30.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW SHADOW DSA112:

This display is for a shadow set that is in a steady state.
That is, there are no active or pending merges or copy
operations for this shadow set and HBMM has not been enabled.
2.$ SHOW SHADOW DSA112:
_DSA112: Volume Label: DSA112
Virtual Unit State: MiniMerge Active (5%),Copy Pending (32%) on NODE1
Enhanced Shadowing Features in use:

Device $1$DGA113 Copy Target (32%)
Read Cost 2 Site 0
Member Timeout 180
This display is for a shadow set that is enabled for HBMM. A
shadow set member copy and a shadow set merge are required for
this shadow set. The shadow member copy was 32% complete when a
merge became necessary. Because the merge was a minimerge, it
preempted the copy and the status of the copy now displays as
pending.
3.$ SHOW SHADOW DSA12
_DSA12: Volume Label: DGA12
Virtual Unit State: Merge Active (23%), Copy Pending (3%) on NODE1
Enhanced Shadowing Features in use:
Host-Based Minimerge (HBMM)

Member Timeout 180
This example displays status information for shadow set DSA12.
A minimerge operation takes precedence over a copy operation,
so the copy has been stopped at 3 percent and the merge is now
active and 23 percent completed.
Note that the VU site value and the site value for device
$1$DGA12 are both 5. Therefore, read I/O to DSA12 on this
system is directed to $1$DGA12.
4.$ SHOW SHADOW /BY_PRIORITY
Device Mbr Active
Name Cnt Priority Virtual Unit State on Node
_DSA30: 2 5000 Steady State
_DSA12: 3 4000 Steady State
_DSA234: 3000 Not Mounted on this node
Total of 2 Operational shadow sets; 0 in Mount Verification;
1 not mounted
The display resulting from this command shows that device DSA30
(with a priority of 5) will start a copy or merge operation
on this system before DSA12 (with a priority of 4). It also
shows that DSA30 is a two-member shadow set and that DSA12: is
a three-member shadow set.
The last line of the display summarizes all the shadow sets and
their states, including shadow sets that have exceeded their
mount verification timeout limits. Operational shadow sets are
shadow sets that are mounted with one or more members and that
may or may not have copy or merge operations in progress. These
shadow sets are available to applications for reads and writes.
5.$ SHOW SHADOW /BY_PRIORITY

_DSA12: 2 4000 Steady State
_DSA234: 3000 Not Mounted on this node
Total of 2 Operational shadow sets; 0 in Mount Verification;
1 not mounted
This display shows that a copy is being performed on system
NODE1 and is 5 percent done. The member count (Mbr Cnt) of 2+1
indicates that there are two source members in the shadow set
and another member is being added. The shadow set had completed
23 percent of a merge when the third member was added. When
the copy operation is complete, the merge will resume from that
point.
6.$ SHOW SHADOW /BY_PRIORITY DSA11
Device Mbr Active
Name Cnt Priority Virtual Unit State on Node
_DSA11: 3 5000 Merge Active (29%) NODE3
This command displays the status of only DSA11, which is 29
percent through a merge operation on NODE3.
7.$ SHOW SHADOW /MERGE
Device Volume Name Status
_DSA1010: FOOBAR Merge Pending (23%), Copy Active (77%) on NODE1
This command requests the status of a merge operation. The
display provides the status of the merge, but also reveals that
a copy operation is currently active.
8.$ SHOW SHADOW DSA1010 /ACTIVE
Device Volume Name Status
_DSA1010: FOOBAR Merge Active (25%) on NODE1
The copy shown to be in progress in the previous example has
completed; now the merge has resumed and is 25 percent done.
NODE1 is doing the merge.

In this example, another event has caused the set to go into a
merge state. However, this set is not currently being acted on
- perhaps because the system does not have any more SHADOW_MAX_
COPY threads or because the relative priority of this shadow
set is lower, causing other merges to be completed first. When
a system is able to perform the merge, the word Active appears
in the display and the Merging percent begins to increase.)
10$ SHOW SHADOW DSA12 /POLICY=HBMM
HBMM Policy for device _DSA12:
HBMM Reset Threshold: 50000
HBMM Master lists:
Up to any 2 of the nodes: NODE1,NODE2,NODE3
HBMM bitmaps are active on the following nodes: NODE2,NODE1
HBMM Reset Count 4 Last Reset 9-JAN-2004 13:40:11.45
Modified blocks since last bitmap reset: 142367
This command displays host-based minimerge (HBMM) information
for device DSA12.
In this example, an HBMM policy has been defined for DSA12. No
more than two of the systems NODE1 and NODE2 can have master
bitmaps for DSA12 at any time. The bitmap is reset when the
bitmap has bits set to represent a total of 50000 blocks
written to DSA12. When this command was entered, both NODE1
and NODE2 had master bitmaps.
Note that the "modified blocks" value exceeds that of the
reset threshold. This can happen because the bitmap is not
reset immediately upon crossing the reset threshold. The
reset threshold is checked periodically, and the interval
for checking the reset threshold is controlled by the system
parameter SHADOW_HBMM_RTC; the default is 150 seconds.

This example shows sample output when both HBMM and Dissimilar
Device Shadowing are in use.
31 – STATUS
Displays the current status of your process.
Format
SHOW STATUS
31.1 – Example
$ SHOW STATUS
Status on 14-DEC-2001 12:56:48.68 Elapsed CPU : 0 00:00:55.02
Buff. I/O : 5117 Cur. ws. : 300 Open files : 1
Dir. I/O : 458 Phys. Mem. : 162 Page Faults : 8323
The SHOW STATUS command in this example displays the current
status of your process.
32 – SYMBOL
Displays the value of the specified symbol.
Format
SHOW SYMBOL [symbol-name]
32.1 – Parameter
symbol-name
Specifies the name of the symbol whose value you want to display.
You must specify a symbol name unless you use the /ALL qualifier.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are allowed in the symbol-name parameter.
NOTE
When you specify a wildcard character, the command searches
only the local symbol table of the current command level
and the global symbol table (as if you had specified
/LOCAL/GLOBAL). You can search symbol tables of preceding
command levels by symbol name, but not by wildcard.
32.2 – Qualifiers
32.2.1 /ALL
Displays the current values of all symbols in the specified
symbol table (/LOCAL or /GLOBAL). If you specify the /ALL
qualifier and do not specify either the /LOCAL or the /GLOBAL
qualifier, the SHOW SYMBOL command displays the contents of the
local symbol table for the current command level.
32.2.2 /GLOBAL
Searches only the global symbol table for the specified symbol
name. If you specify both the /ALL and /GLOBAL qualifiers, all
names in the global symbol table are displayed.
32.2.3 /LOCAL
Searches only the local symbol table for the current command
level for the specified symbol name. If you specify both the /ALL
and /LOCAL qualifiers, all names in the local symbol table for
the current command level are displayed.
32.2.4 /LOG
/LOG (default)
/NOLOG
Controls whether the system generates an informational message if
the symbol value has been truncated. The value is truncated if it
exceeds 255 characters.
32.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW SYMBOL PURGE
PURGE = "PURGE/KEEP=2"
The SHOW SYMBOL command in this example displays the current
value of the symbol name PURGE. The command interpreter first
searches the local symbol table for the current command level,
then local symbol tables for preceding command levels, and
finally the global symbol table. The single equal sign (=)
following PURGE means it is a local symbol.
2.$ SHOW SYMBOL/GLOBAL/ALL
$FACILITY == "%X00000000"
$IDENT == "%X00000000"
$RESTART == "FALSE"
$SEVERITY == "1"
$STATUS == "%X10000001"
LOG == "@LOG"
TIME == "SHOW TIME"
The SHOW SYMBOL command in this example displays all the
symbols defined in the global symbol table. Note that the
symbols $FACILITY, $IDENT, $RESTART, $SEVERITY, and $STATUS,
which are maintained by the system, are also displayed.
3.$ SHOW SYMBOL/LOCAL TIME
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol
The SHOW SYMBOL command in this example searches only the local
symbol table for the symbol TIME. The response indicates that
TIME currently has no value.
33 – SYSTEM
Displays status information about current processes.
Format
SHOW SYSTEM
33.1 – Qualifiers
33.1.1 /BATCH
/BATCH (default)
/NOBATCH
Displays all batch jobs for the local system. When used with the
/CLUSTER qualifier, the /BATCH qualifier displays all batch jobs
in the OpenVMS Cluster environment. When you use the /NOBATCH
qualifier, all batch jobs are excluded from the display.
33.1.2 /CLUSTER
Displays the specified processes on all nodes in an OpenVMS
Cluster.
33.1.3 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
33.1.4 /FULL
Displays the user identification code (UIC), the processor type,
and the process size, in addition to the default information. The
UIC is displayed below the process name.
33.1.5 /GRAND_TOTAL
/GRAND_TOTAL
/NOGRAND_TOTAL (default)
Displays a trailing line with the total of all processes matching
the selection criteria and the total number of all processes on
all systems displayed by the command. (See also /TOTAL.)
33.1.6 /HEADING
/HEADING
/NOHEADING
Displays a heading line above the system output. When you use
the /NOHEADING qualifier, the heading line is excluded from the
display.
33.1.7 /IMAGE
Lists all processes with their current image. (Requires WORLD
privilege.)
33.1.8 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
33.1.9 /IDENT
/IDENT=pid
Displays all processes on the system that have the specified
process identification (PID) code number.
33.1.10 /INTERACTIVE
/INTERACTIVE
/NOINTERACTIVE
Displays all interactive processes on the system. When you use
the /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier, all interactive processes are
excluded from the display.
33.1.11 /MULTITHREAD
Displays all multithreaded processes for the local system.
When used with the /FULL qualifier, the /MULTITHREAD qualifier
displays information about each kernel thread in a multithreaded
process.
For more information on kernel threads, see the HP OpenVMS
Programming Concepts Manual.
33.1.12 /NETWORK
/NETWORK
/NONETWORK
Displays all network processes on the system. When you use the
/NONETWORK qualifier, all network processes are excluded from the
display.
33.1.13 /NODE
/NODE[=(name,...)]
Displays all the processes on the specified node or nodes. If
you enter the /NODE qualifier without a value, the qualifier
displays all the processes on the local node of an OpenVMS
Cluster environment.
33.1.14 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default,
the output of the SHOW SYSTEM command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output
to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The file specification may not include the asterisk (*) and the
percent sign (%) wildcard characters. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
33.1.15 /OWNER_UIC
/OWNER_UIC=uic
Displays all processes on the system that have the specified user
identification code (UIC) number.
33.1.16 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of system information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:

Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
33.1.17 /PROCESS
/PROCESS[=name] (default)
/NOPROCESS
Displays all specified processes on the system. If you do not
specify a process name with the /PROCESS qualifier, all processes
are displayed.
When you use the /NOPROCESS qualifier with the /CLUSTER
qualifier, only the node or nodes available on the cluster are
displayed with their respective uptimes and operating system

The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example was issued from a VAX system
and shows all processes on the node EON.
The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example displays all processes
on the system.
The information in this example includes the following:
o Process identification (PID) code-A 32-bit binary value that
uniquely identifies a process.
o Process name-A 1 to 15-character string used to identify a
process.
o Process state-The activity level of the process, such as COM
(computing), HIB (hibernation), LEF (local event flag) wait,
or CUR (if the process is current). If a multiprocessing
environment exists, the display shows the CPU ID of the
processor on which any current process is executing.
Note that the SHOW SYSTEM command examines the processes on
the system without stopping activity on the system. In this
example, process information changed during the time that
the SHOW SYSTEM command collected the data to be displayed.
As a result, this display includes two processes, named
GAWAIN and S. Whiplash, with the state CUR on the same CPU,
CPU ID 6 in the example.
o Current priority -The priority level assigned to the process
(the higher the number, the higher the priority).
o Total process I/O count-The number of I/O operations the
process has used thus far. This consists of both the direct
I/O count and the buffered I/O count.
o Charged CPU time-The amount of CPU time that a process has
used so far.
o Number of page faults-The number of exceptions generated by
references to pages that are not in the process's working
set.
o Pages-The number of CPU-specific pages in physical memory
that the process is currently occupying.
o Process indicator-Letter B indicates a Batch Job; letter
S indicates a Sub Process; letter N indicates a Network
Process. If the letter M precedes B, S, or N, it indicates
that it is a multithreaded process.
o User identification code (UIC)-An 8-digit octal number
assigned to a process. This number is displayed only if
the /FULL qualifier is specified.

34 – TERMINAL
Displays the current characteristics of a specific terminal.
Each characteristic corresponds to an option of the SET TERMINAL
command.
Format
SHOW TERMINAL [device-name[:]]
34.1 – Parameter
device-name[:]
Specifies the name of the terminal for which you want the
characteristics displayed. The default is your terminal
(SYS$COMMAND).
34.2 – Qualifiers
34.2.1 /BRIEF
Displays a subset of more commonly used terminal characteristics.
34.2.2 /FULL
/FULL (default)
Displays all terminal characteristics.
34.2.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
process default output stream or device, identified by the
logical name SYS$OUTPUT.
If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you
enter a file specification, it cannot include the asterisk (*)
and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
34.2.4 /PERMANENT
Requires LOG_IO (logical I/O) or PHY_IO (physical I/O) privilege.
Displays the permanent characteristics of the terminal.
34.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW TERMINAL/BRIEF

35 – TIME
Displays the current date and time.
Format
SHOW [DAY]TIME
35.1 – Example
$ SHOW TIME
3-NOV-2001 00:02:00
The SHOW TIME command in this example displays the current date
and time.
36 – TRANSLATION
Displays the first translation found for the specified logical
name. You can specify the tables that are searched.
Requires read (R) access to a logical name table to display
information about any logical name cataloged in that table.
Format
SHOW TRANSLATION logical-name
36.1 – Parameter
logical-name
Specifies the logical name whose translation you want to display.
36.2 – Qualifier
36.2.1 /TABLE
/TABLE=name
Searches the specified table. The default value for the name
parameter is LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.
If you specify the table name by using a logical name that
translates to more than one table, then each table is searched
in the order specified until a match is found.
36.3 – Examples
1.$ SHOW TRANSLATION PAYROLL
PAYROLL = DISK1:[ACCOUNTS.WORKING]FACTOR1.DAT;37 (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
The SHOW TRANSLATION command in this example displays the
translation for the logical name PAYROLL and also displays
the name of the table where the logical name was found. In this
example, PAYROLL was found in LNM$PROCESS_TABLE, the process
logical name table.
2.$ DEFINE DISK DKA1:
$ DEFINE/GROUP DISK DKA2:
$ SHOW TRANSLATION DISK
DISK = DKA1:(LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
The DEFINE commands in this example place entries for the
logical name DISK in both the process and group logical
name tables. Then, the SHOW TRANSLATION command shows the
translation associated with the logical name DISK. By default,
the process, job, group, and system tables are searched (in
that order). The first match found is displayed. The logical
name DISK from the process table (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) is
displayed because it is found before the name DISK in the group
table.
3.$ RUN ORION
<Ctrl/Y>
$ SHOW TRANSLATION TERMINAL
TERMINAL = _TTT3: (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
$ CONTINUE
The RUN command in this example executes the image ORION.EXE.
After the Ctrl/Y function interrupts the image, the SHOW
TRANSLATION command displays a logical name assignment. The
CONTINUE command resumes the execution of the image.
4.$ SHOW TRANSLATION/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM USER
USER = "DKA2:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
The SHOW TRANSLATION command in this example displays the
translation for the logical name USER. Because a table name
is specified, the SHOW TRANSLATION command does not use the
default search order. Only the specified table, LNM$SYSTEM, is
searched. LNM$SYSTEM is the system logical name table.
5.$ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY MYPROC -
_$ TEST_TABLE, LNM$PROCESS
$ SHOW TRANSLATION/TABLE=MYPROC FILER
FILER = "[SMITH.FILER]" (TEST_TABLE)
In this example, MYPROC defines a list of logical name
tables that you want searched. It asks the system to first
search TEST_TABLE (a user-defined table) and then to search
LNM$PROCESS (the process logical name table). MYPROC is stored
in LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY, the process directory table. When you
enter the SHOW TRANSLATION command to find FILER in the MYPROC
table, the tables TEST_TABLE and LNM$PROCESS are searched, in
that order. The first match found is displayed.
37 – USERS
Displays the user name and node name (in an OpenVMS Cluster
environment) of interactive, subprocess, and batch users on the
system.
Format
SHOW USERS [username]
37.1 – Parameter
username
Specifies the user about whom you want information. The asterisk
(*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed.
If you specify a string, all users whose user names begin with
the string are displayed. For example, if you specify the string
MAR, all user names that begin with MAR are displayed. If no user
exists whose name matches the specified string, an informational
message tells you that no processes were found.
If you omit the username parameter, a list of all interactive,
subprocess, and batch users is displayed.
37.2 – Qualifiers
37.2.1 /BATCH
/BATCH
/NOBATCH
Displays all batch users in the OpenVMS Cluster environment. To
restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use the /BATCH
qualifier with the /NODE qualifier. When you use the /NOBATCH
qualifier, all batch users are excluded from the display.
37.2.2 /CLUSTER
Displays the specified user names on all nodes in an OpenVMS
Cluster environment.
37.2.3 /EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
37.2.4 /FULL
Displays the user name, the node name, the process name,
the process identification (PID) code, terminal names (both
virtual and physical), and port information of all interactive,
subprocess, and batch users on the system.
37.2.5 /HEADING
/HEADING (default)
/NOHEADING
Displays a heading line above the system output. When you use
the /NOHEADING qualifier, the heading line is excluded from the
display.
37.2.6 /HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
37.2.7 /INTERACTIVE
/INTERACTIVE
/NOINTERACTIVE
Displays all interactive processes held by users in the OpenVMS
Cluster environment. To restrict the display to users on specific
nodes, use the /INTERACTIVE qualifier with the /NODE qualifier.
When you use the /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier, all interactive
processes held by users in the OpenVMS Cluster environment are
excluded from the display.
37.2.8 /NETWORK
/NETWORK
/NONETWORK
Displays all network users in the OpenVMS Cluster environment. To
restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use the /NETWORK
qualifier with the /NODE qualifier. When you use the /NONETWORK
qualifier, all network users in the OpenVMS Cluster environment
are excluded from the display.
37.2.9 /NODE
/NODE[=(name,...)]
Displays all interactive, subprocess, and batch users on the
specified node or nodes. If you enter the /NODE qualifier without
a value, the qualifier displays all the interactive, subprocess,
and batch users on the local node.
37.2.10 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default,
the output of the SHOW USERS command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output
to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
37.2.11 /PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of user information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Get the next page of information.

F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
37.2.12 /SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
37.2.13 /SUBPROCESS
/SUBPROCESS
/NOSUBPROCESS
Displays all subprocess users in the OpenVMS Cluster environment.
To restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use the
/SUBPROCESS qualifier with the /NODE qualifier. When you use
the /NOSUBPROCESS qualifier, all subprocess users in the OpenVMS
Cluster environment are excluded from the output.
37.2.14 /WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
