After you enter a command, the system responds with a display
that includes a summary of the command you entered, the UID
of the entity (if enabled) referred to in the command, and
a timestamp showing when the command was executed. On some
commands, (for example, show), the output also includes a display
of certain values.
The following is an example of a typical show command and the
resulting display:
NCL> show nsp all <Return>

A command that executes appropriately and completes its assigned
task produces a Success Response. Success Responses are not
documented in the command description sections of this manual
unless the Success Response contains arguments or the response
indicates that something other than the expected action has
occurred.
If a command does not complete successfully, you can get one or
more exception or error messages. There are three categories of
error returns for NCL commands:
o OpenVMS NCL error messages; that is, errors that occur at the
level where OpenVMS is processing NCL commands.
o Common NCL exception messages; that is, errors that occur
within NCL and which apply to more than one command.
o Command-specific exception messages, which are described with
the commands that can produce them.
Each command description in this manual includes at least one
example that shows a typical successful command with possible
resulting output.
