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.
