/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT 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 /OUTPUT 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 any wildcard characters. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
/SERVER
/SERVER Displays information about the audit server process. Currently, the only information displayed is the action the audit server takes if all attempts to allocate virtual memory to buffer audit messages are unsuccessful.
Examples
1. $ SHOW AUDIT
Security alarms currently disabled
The display produced by the SHOW AUDIT command in this example
reveals that security auditing is not enabled.
2. $ SHOW AUDIT/ALL
List of audit journals:
Journal name: SECURITY
Journal owner: (system audit journal)
Destination: SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]AUDIT.AUDIT$JOURNAL
Monitoring: free disk space

BREAKIN: (DIALUP,LOCAL,REMOTE,NETWORK,DETACHED)
LOGIN: (BATCH,DIALUP,LOCAL,REMOTE,NETWORK,SUBPROCESS,DETACHED)
LOGFAILURE:(BATCH,DIALUP,LOCAL,REMOTE,NETWORK,SUBPROCESS,DETACHED)
The SHOW AUDIT command in this example displays all the available
security auditing information, including the following:
o The name and location of the system security audit journal file.
o The method used by the audit server to monitor available resources
on the system and the threshold values at which the audit server
sends out notification, suspends, or resumes activity on the system.
o Information about the audit server.
o The name and location of the archive journal file. By default,
archiving is not enabled on the system.
o The security alarm failure mode in effect on the system.
o The classes of security events enabled on the system. All security
events generated are written to the system security audit journal
and sent as alarm messages to all terminals enabled as security
operators.
3. $ SHOW AUDIT/FAILURE_MODE
Security alarm failure mode is set to:
IGNORE Alarms will be lost (0 alarms lost)
The SHOW AUDIT command in this example shows that the VMS operating
system will ignore security alarms when there are insufficient
system resources to write the alarm to the operator mailbox. A
message is sent to the system console indicating that that alarm
messages are being lost.
BROADCAST
Displays the message classes that are currently affected by the SET
BROADCAST command.
Format:
SHOW BROADCAST
Additional information available:
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT 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 /OUTPUT 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 any wildcard characters. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
CLUSTER
Invokes the VMS Show Cluster Utility (SHOW CLUSTER) to monitor and
display cluster activity and performance. For a complete description
of the Show Cluster Utility, including information about the SHOW
CLUSTER command, see the VMS Show Cluster Utility Manual.
Format:
SHOW CLUSTER
Additional information available:
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/BEGINNING/CONTINUOUS/ENDING/INTERVAL/OUTPUT
/BEGINNING
/BEGINNING=time Specifies a future time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to begin. You can specify an absolute time, delta time, or a combination of the two. If you specify a future time, your process is placed in a state of hibernation until the specified time. You should use this qualifier with the /OUTPUT and /ENDING qualifiers to run SHOW CLUSTER without direct user intervention.
/CONTINUOUS
/CONTINUOUS Controls whether SHOW CLUSTER runs as a continuously updating display. If you omit the qualifier, a single display is produced and control is returned to the DCL level. Running SHOW CLUSTER in the /CONTINUOUS mode allows you to use SHOW CLUSTER commands to control the display.
/ENDING
/ENDING=time Specifies a future time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to end. You can specify an absolute time, delta time, or a combination of the two. You should use this qualifier with the /BEGINNING and /OUTPUT qualifiers to run SHOW CLUSTER without direct user intervention.
/INTERVAL
/INTERVAL=seconds Specifies the number of seconds that the display information remains on the screen before it is updated.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT 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 /OUTPUT with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), the default file name is SHOW_CLUSTER.LIS. If you enter a file specification, it can not include any wildcard characters. You can also specify a valid device name to direct output to a particular device. If you specify a device name that is invalid, it is treated as a file name. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed. When the /OUTPUT qualifier is used, SHOW CLUSTER output is always in printable file format regardless of the device type specified. The output can be up to 132 columns wide and be directed to any file, terminal, or print device.
Examples
1. $ SHOW CLUSTER The command in this example produces a single display of default CLUSTER information and returns control to the DCL command level. 2. $ SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS The command in this example produces a single display of default CLUSTER information, which is continuously updated at 15-second intervals.
CPU
Displays the current state of the processors in a VMS multiprocessing
system.
Applies only to VMS multiprocessing systems. Requires change mode to
kernel (CMKRNL) privilege.
Format:
SHOW CPU [cpu-id,...]
Additional information available:
Parameter
cpu-id Decimal value representing the identity of a processor in a multiprocessing system. In a VAX 8300 system, for instance, the cpu-id is the VAXBI node number of the processor; in a VAX 8800, the cpu-id of the left processor is 1 and that of the right processor is 0.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ACTIVE/ALL/BRIEF/FULL/SUMMARY
/ACTIVE
/ACTIVE Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that are members of the system's active set.
/ALL
/ALL Selects all configured processors, active and inactive, as the subject of the display.
/BRIEF
/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.
/FULL
/FULL Produces information from the summary display. The /FULL qualifier also lists the current CPU state, current process (if any), revision levels, and 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.
/SUMMARY
/SUMMARY Produces a display listing the processors in the VMS multiprocessing system, indicating which is the primary, which are configured, and which are active. The /SUMMARY qualifier also indicates the minimum revision levels required for processors in the system, which VMS 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 prohibit the enabling of multiprocessing, the SHOW CPU command displays a warning message.
Examples
1. $ SHOW CPU
SOWHAT, A VAX 8800
Multiprocessing is ENABLED. MULTIPROCESSING Sysgen parameter = 02
Minimum multiprocessing revision levels -- CPU: 0 uCODE: 0 UWCS: 0.
PRIMARY CPU = 01
Active CPUs: 00 01
Configured CPUs: 00 01
This SHOW CPU command produces a configuration summary of all
configured processors in the VAX 8800 system SOWHAT. The primary
processor is CPU 01, and all configured processors are active.
2. $ SHOW CPU /BRIEF
SOWHAT, A VAX 8800
Multiprocessing is ENABLED. MULTIPROCESSING Sysgen parameter = 02
Minimum multiprocessing revision levels -- CPU: 0 uCODE: 0 UWCS: 0.
PRIMARY CPU = 01
CPU 00 is in RUN state
Current Process: AIREGIN EPID = 4A8001E5
CPU 01 is in RUN state
Current Process: ***None***
This SHOW CPU/BRIEF command produces a configuration summary of the
VAX 8800 system SOWHAT and also indicates that its two processors are
in the RUN state. Only CPU 00 has a current process.
3. $ SHOW CPU
OLEO, A VAX 8300
Multiprocessing is DISABLED. MULTIPROCESSING Sysgen parameter = 02
Minimum multiprocessing revision levels -- CPU: 0 uCODE: 0 UWCS: 0.
*** Loaded unmodified device drivers prevent multiprocessor operation.
PRIMARY CPU = 02
Active CPUs: 02
Configured CPUs: 02 08
This SHOW CPU command produces a configuration summary of all
configured processors in the VAX 8300 system OLEO. The primary
processor is CPU 02. Multiprocessing cannot be enabled, and the
secondary processor cannot be booted because a uniprocessing device
driver is present in the system.
DEFAULT
Displays the current default device and directory names, along with
any equivalence strings. These defaults are applied whenever you
omit a device and/or directory name from a file specification.
Format:
SHOW DEFAULT
Additional information available:
Examples
1. $ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK1:[ALPHA]
$ SET DEFAULT DISK5:[HIGGINS.SOURCES]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK5:[HIGGINS.SOURCES]
The SHOW DEFAULT command requests a display of 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. $ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK0:[HIGGINS]
$ DEFINE SYS$DISK DISK3:
$ SHOW DEFAULT
DISK3:[HIGGINS2]
The first SHOW DEFAULT command displays the current default device
and directory names. The DEFINE command changes the equivalence
name for the logical name SYS$DISK, thus changing the default device
from DISK0 to DISK3. When you issue the SHOW DEFAULT command again,
you see that the default directory name is now HIGGINS2.
3.
$ SHOW DEFAULT
WORK:[SMITH]
$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEALED XYZ WORK:[INVOICES.]
$ SET DEFAULT XYZ:[SALES]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
XYZ:[SALES]
In this example, the rooted-device logical name XYZ is specified as
a concealed device. In this case, SHOW DEFAULT displays the
rooted-device logical name without translation.
4.
$ SET DEFAULT WORK:[BLUE]
$ SHOW DEFAULT
WORK:[BLUE]
$ DEFINE FOO WORK:[BLUE.TEMP1],WORK:[BLUE.TEMP2]
$ SET DEFAULT FOO
$ SHOW DEFAULT
FOO:[BLUE]
= WORK:[BLUE.TEMP1]
= WORK:[BLUE.TEMP2]
The logical name FOO is defined as a search list containing the
directories [BLUE.TEMP1] and [BLUE.TEMP2] both on device WORK. 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.
Since the directory field has not been explicitly specified, the
original [BLUE] directory remains in effect as the current default
directory. Note however, that unless the current default directory
syntax ([]) is explicitly used, all file references will be to those
directories contained in the search list.
5.
$ SET DEFAULT NOSUCH:[NOWAY]
$ SHO DEFAULT
NOSUCH:[NOWAY]
%DCL-I-INVDEF, NOSUCH:[NOWAY] does not exist
The default has been set to a nonexistent device and directory. An
informational message is displayed warning the user of this fact.
DEVICES
Displays the status of a device on the system.
Format:
SHOW DEVICES [device-name[:]]
Additional information available:
Parameters
device-name[:]
Specifies the name of a device for which information is to be
displayed. You can specify a complete device name or only a portion
of a device name. The SHOW DEVICES command provides defaults for
unspecified 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).
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.
If you issue the SHOW DEVICES command and specify neither a device
name parameter nor any qualifier, the command provides a brief
listing of characteristics of all devices on the system (with the
exception of mailbox devices). To obtain information about a
specific device or generic class of devices, specify a device name.
Use the /ALLOCATED qualifier for a list of devices that are
currently allocated to processes; use the /MOUNTED qualifier for a
list of the mounted devices.
Note that the /FILES qualifier does not support defaults for
unspecified portions of device names; you must supply a complete
device specification.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ALLOCATED/BRIEF/FILES/FULL/MOUNTED/OUTPUT
/SYSTEM/WINDOWS
/ALLOCATED
/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.
/BRIEF
/BRIEF (default) Displays brief information about the specified devices.
/FILES
/FILES Requires SYSPRV 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 that the SHOW DEVICES /FILES command does not support defaults for unspecified 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 which 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. In order 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 /NOSYSTEM qualifier is specified, the names of all files currently opened on the system are displayed. If a file is read-protected from your UIC, the "No privilege" message is displayed instead of the file name. You must have SYSPRV (system privilege) or BYPASS privilege in order 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. In order to have temporary file names displayed, 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 qualifiers. The functions of /FILES and these qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
/FULL
/FULL Displays a complete list of information about the devices.
/MOUNTED
/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 which currently have volumes mounted are displayed.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT 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 /OUTPUT 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 any wildcard characters. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
/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 which have been opened without the use of an ancillary control process (ACP), such as INDEXF.SYS and QUOTA.SYS. If you specify /NOSYSTEM with the /FILES qualifier, only files opened by processes are displayed. If you omit both /SYSTEM and /NOSYSTEM and specify the /FILES qualifier, the names of all files currently opened 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.
/WINDOWS
/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).
/SERVED
Displays information on devices served by the MSCP server on this
node. The /SERVED qualifier is required.
Format:
SHOW DEVICES/SERVED
Additional information available:
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ALL/COUNT/HOST/OUTPUT/RESOURCE
/ALL
/ALL This qualifier displays the information displayed by all of the qualifiers listed below except the /OUTPUT qualifier.
/COUNT
/COUNT Displays the number of transfer operations completed, sorted by the size of the transfers, and the number of MSCP operations that have taken place since the MSCP server was started.
/HOST
/HOST Displays the names of the processors that have MSCP-served devices on line. SYSGEN's MSCP/HOST command determines how many hosts in the cluster can connect to the MSCP server at one time.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=[file-spec] Redirects output from your terminal to the specified file. If you do not specify a file, or if you do not use this qualifier, output is sent to SYS$OUTPUT.
/RESOURCE
/RESOURCE
Displays information on the resources available to the MSCP server
for use in processing I/O requests for the devices it serves. You
make these resources available to the MSCP server when you use
SYSGEN's MSCP command to start the MSCP server and use the
qualifiers listed below.
Qualifier Item Specified
/BUFFER The amount of buffer space available to the
MSCP server
/FRACTION The maximum size, in pages, of the buffer
granted to an I/O request; for transfers
of more data than will fit a buffer of the
size specified by this qualifier, several
CI transfers are needed
/SMALL The minimum size, in pages, of the buffer
that the MSCP server can grant to an I/O
request; if less than this amount of
buffer space is available, the I/O request
must wait until at least this much buffer
space becomes available; when this much
space becomes available, the MSCP server
grants the request a buffer
/PACKETS The number of I/O-request packets (CDRPs)
available to the MSCP server for
processing I/O requests
DISPLAY
Indicates the node where output from a DECwindows application will
be displayed.
Format
SHOW DISPLAY [display-device]
Additional information available:
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.
Example
1. $ SHOW DISPLAY
Device: WSA1:
Node: 0
Transport: LOCAL
Server: 0
Screen: 0
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ZEPHYR
$ SHOW DISPLAY
Device: WSA2:
Node: ZEPHYR
Transport: DECNET
Server: 0
Screen: 0
$ SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL: RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK
$ SET DISPLAY/NOPERMANENT
$ SHOW DISPLAY
Device: WSA1:
Node: 0
Transport: LOCAL
Server: 0
Screen: 0
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. When you finish running
Clock, you disable the redirected display by entering the SET
DISPLAY/NOPERMANENT command. Finally, you enter the SHOW DISPLAY
command to verify that any applications subsequently run on your
node will also be displayed there.
Note that a new workstation display device, WSA2, is created when
you enter the SET DISPLAY/CREATE command. When you cancel the
redirected display with the SET DISPLAY/NOPERMANENT command,
application output is once again displayed on the workstation
display device referred to by WSA1.
ENTRY
Displays information about a user's batch and print jobs or about
specific job entries. The display shows each entry's current status
as well as its attributes. These attibutes are the job name, owner,
entry number, job status, queue name.
Requires GROUP privilege to display all jobs in your group.
Requires OPER privilege to display all jobs in all groups
Format:
SHOW ENTRY [entry-number,...]
Additional information available:
ParametersCommand QualifiersExamples
Parameters
[entry-number,...] Specifies the entry number of the job you want displayed. If no entry number is specified, all your jobs (or those owned by the user specified with the /USER_NAME qualifier) are displayed.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/BATCH/BRIEF/BY_JOB_STATUS/DEVICE/FILES/FULL
/GENERIC/OUTPUT/USER_NAME
/BATCH
/BATCH Selects batch jobs for display. If /USER_NAME is not specified, information about your jobs is displayed.
/BRIEF
/BRIEF (default) Displays the following information for each job: job name, user name, entry number, job size in blocks (for print jobs), status, queue name, and queue type. The /FULL and /FILES qualifiers override /BRIEF. Specify the /FULL qualifier to obtain more job information.
/BY_JOB_STATUS
/BY_JOB_STATUS[=(keyword,...)]
Selects for display only those jobs with the specified status.
Specify the status with one or more of the following keywords:
EXECUTING Requests the display of currently executing jobs.
HOLDING Requests the display of jobs on hold. Holding
status indicates 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. For
example, a job may be retained in the queue if there
was an error during its execution.
TIMED_RELEASE Requests the display of jobs on hold until a
specified time. Timed release status indicates that
the job is being held in the queue for execution at
a future time.
/DEVICE
/DEVICE[=(keyword,...)] Selects for display only those print jobs in the queue types specified. Specify the queue type with one or more of the following keywords: PRINTER Requests the display of jobs in print queues. SERVER Requests the display of jobs in server queues. TERMINAL Requests the display of jobs in terminal queues. You can specify more than one keyword. If no keyword is specified, /DEVICE displays all printer, terminal, and server queues. If /USER is not specified, information about your jobs is displayed.
/FILES
/FILES Adds to the default display the list of full file specifications for each file in each job.
/FULL
/FULL Displays the following information for each job: job name, user name, entry number, job status, full file specification associated with each job, date and time of submission, settings specified for the job, queue name, and queue type. The /FULL qualifier overrides the default brief listing format.
/GENERIC
/GENERIC Selects for display only those jobs contained in generic queues. A generic queue holds jobs of a particular type (for example, batch or line printer jobs) and directs them to execution queues for processing. If /USER_NAME is not specified, information about your jobs is displayed.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the SHOW ENTRY command is sent. By default, the output 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 /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
/USER_NAME
/USER_NAME=username Selects for display those jobs owned by the specified user. If /USER_NAME is not specified, information about your jobs is displayed. The name must be 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters.
Examples
1. $ SHOW ENTRY/DEVICE=(PRINTER,TERMINAL)

If you use the /ALL qualifier, do not specify a key name. If no state is specified, all key definitions in the current state are displayed. Use the /STATE qualifier to specify one or more states.
/BRIEF
/BRIEF (default) /NOBRIEF Requests that only the key definition and state be displayed. The /BRIEF and /NOFULL qualifiers are equivalent.
/DIRECTORY
/DIRECTORY Requests the display of the names of all states for which keys have been defined. If you have no keys defined, the SHOW KEY/DIRECTORY command displays nothing. If you have not specified a state with a key definition, the SHOW KEY/DIRECTORY command displays DEFAULT for the state. Note that the /DIRECTORY qualifier is incompatible with any of the other SHOW KEY qualifiers.
/FULL
/FULL /NOFULL (default) Requests that all qualifiers that are associated with a definition be displayed. By default, only the state of the definition and the definition itself are displayed. The /FULL and /NOBRIEF qualifiers are equivalent.
/STATE
/STATE=(state-name[,...]) /NOSTATE Specifies the name of a state for which the specified key definitions are to be displayed. If you specify only one state name, you can omit the parentheses. State names can be any appropriate alphanumeric string. State names are created with the DEFINE/KEY command. If you omit the /STATE qualifier or use /NOSTATE, key definitions in the current state are displayed.
LICENSE
Displays all the software product licenses active on the node from
which you enter the command. An active license is one that has been
registered in the LICENSE database and loaded into system memory.
For more information about License registration and activation, see
the VMS License Management Utility Manual, part of the VMS base
documentation set.
To display licenses registered in the LICENSE database, use the

LOGICAL
Displays all logical names in one or more logical name tables or
displays the current equivalence string, or strings, assigned to a
specified logical name or names. The SHOW LOGICAL command performs
iterative translations.
Format:
SHOW LOGICAL [logical-name[:],[...]]
Additional information available:
ParametersCommand QualifiersExamples
Parameters
logical-name[:],[...] Specifies one or more logical names for which the equivalence strings are to be displayed. The logical name can have from 1 to 255 characters (unless it is the name of a logical name table, in which case the maximum length is 31 characters). The logical name is translated iteratively up to a number of times determined by the system (from 9 to 11). That is, the equivalence strings resulting from a translation are examined to see if they are also logical names. If you do not specify the logical name parameter, the SHOW LOGICAL command displays all logical names in the specified logical name tables. If no tables are specified and if no logical name is present, the SHOW LOGICAL command displays all logical names in the tables indicated by the logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL. Unless LNM$DCL_LOGICAL has been redefined for your process, LNM$DCL_LOGICAL translates to the process, job, group, and system tables, in that order. (The process, job, group, and system tables are referred to by the logical names LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM.) Wildcard characters are allowed in the logical name specification. However, if wildcard characters are used, iterative logical name translation is not performed.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ACCESS_MODE/ALL/DESCENDANTS/FULL/GROUP
/JOB/OUTPUT/PROCESS/STRUCTURE/SYSTEM/TABLE
/ACCESS_MODE
/ACCESS_MODE=mode Displays names defined in the specified access mode and any inner access modes. You can specify one of the following keywords to indicate the access mode: USER_MODE, SUPERVISOR_MODE, EXECUTIVE_MODE, or KERNEL_MODE. The default for this qualifier is USER_MODE; thus, by default any definitions in all four access modes are displayed.
/ALL
/ALL (default) Indicates that all logical names in the specified logical name tables are to be displayed. If you do not enter the /PROCESS, /JOB, /GROUP, /SYSTEM, or /TABLE qualifier, all logical names in the system's default logical name table search list are displayed. (The logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL specifies the default logical name table search list.)
/DESCENDANTS
/DESCENDANTS /NODESCENDANTS (default) 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.
/FULL
/FULL Provides more detailed information on the access mode and any attributes for each logical name, equivalence string, and logical name table displayed.
/GROUP
/GROUP When you specify a logical name, indicates that only the group logical name table is to be searched. The /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$GROUP. If you specify the /GROUP qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all entries in the group logical name table are displayed.
/JOB
/JOB When you specify a logical name, indicates that only the job logical name table is to be searched. The /JOB qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$JOB. If you specify the /JOB qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all entries in the job logical name table are displayed.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT without a file specification, the output is sent to the current process default output stream or device, identified by the logical name SYS$OUTPUT. If you enter /OUTPUT with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and LIS the default file type. If you enter a file specification, it may not include any wildcard characters. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
/PROCESS
/PROCESS When you specify a logical name, indicates that only the process logical name table is to be searched. The /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS. If you specify the /PROCESS qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all entries in the process logical name table are displayed.
/STRUCTURE
/STRUCTURE /NOSTRUCTURE (default) Controls whether the command displays the "family tree" of all logical name tables accessible to this process. 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 /STRUCTURE, you cannot specify any other qualifiers except /ACCESS_MODE, /FULL, and /OUTPUT.
/SYSTEM
/SYSTEM When you specify a logical name, indicates that only the system logical name table is to be searched. The /SYSTEM qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM. If you specify the /SYSTEM qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the system logical name table are displayed.
/TABLE
/TABLE=(name[,...]) Specifies the name of the tables to be searched. If you specify only one table, you can omit the parentheses. You can use the /TABLE qualifier to specify a user-defined logical name table (created with the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command), to specify the process, group or system logical name tables, or to specify the process or system directory tables. You can also use wildcards to specify the table name. If you specify the table name using a logical name that translates to more than one table, then each table is searched in the order specified. For example, if you specify SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$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.
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" = "DBA2:"
"SYS$SCRATCH" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
The SHOW LOGICAL command requests a display of the current process
logical names. (Note that /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS would produce the same
display as /PROCESS.)
2. $ SHOW LOGICAL INFILE
"INFILE" = "WORK6:[LOGAN]PAYROLL.EXE" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
The SHOW LOGICAL command requests a display of the current
equivalence name 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 requests a display of all current logical
names in the group logical name table. (Note that /TABLE=LNM$GROUP
would produce the same display as /GROUP.)

The symbol name must begin with a letter, an underscore, or a dollar sign. Wildcard characters are allowed in the symbol-name specification. If you specify /ALL, you cannot specify a symbol name.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ALL
/ALL Requests that the current values of all symbols in the specified symbol table be displayed. If you specify /ALL and do not specify either /LOCAL or /GLOBAL, the SHOW SYMBOL command displays the contents of the local symbol table for the current command level.
/GLOBAL
/GLOBAL Requests that only the global symbol table be searched for the specified symbol name. If you specify both the /ALL and /GLOBAL qualifiers, all names in the global symbol table are displayed.
/LOCAL
/LOCAL Requests that only the local symbol table for the current command level be searched 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.
/LOG
/LOG (default) /NOLOG Controls whether an informational message is generated if the symbol value has been truncated. The value is truncated if it exceeds 255 characters.
Examples
1. $ SHOW SYMBOL PURGE
PURGE = "PURGE/KEEP=2"
The SHOW SYMBOL command requests that the current value of the
symbol name PURGE be displayed. 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
TIME == "SHOW TIME"
LOG == "@LOG"
$RESTART == "FALSE"
$SEVERITY == "1"
$STATUS == "%X00000001"
The SHOW SYMBOL command requests a display of all symbols defined in
the global symbol table. Note that the symbols $RESTART, $STATUS,
and $SEVERITY, which are maintained by the system, are also
displayed.
3. $ SHOW SYMBOL/LOCAL TIME
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol
The SHOW SYMBOL command requests that only the local symbol table be
searched for the symbol TIME. The response indicates that TIME
currently has no value.
SYSTEM
Displays status information about current processes: the time,
process name and identification, processing state, priority, total
process I/O, cumulative processor time used, cumulative page faults,
amount of physical memory being used, and type of process.

The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example displays all processes on
the system.
The information in this example includes the following:
o Process identification code (PID) - 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 SHOW SYSTEM
collected the data to be displayed. As a result, this display
includes two processes, named YURYAN 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 involved
in executing the process. 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
thus far.
o Number of page faults - The number of exceptions generated by
references to pages which are not in the process's working set.
o Physical memory occupied - The amount of space in physical memory
that the process is currently occupying.
o Process indicator - Letter B indicates a batch job; letter S
indicates a subprocess; letter N indicates a network process.
o User identification code (UIC) - An 8-digit octal number assigned
to a process. This is only displayed if the /FULL qualifier is
specified.

The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example shows all processes on the
node EON.
TERMINAL
Displays the current characteristics of a specific terminal. Each
characteristic corresponds to an option of the SET TERMINAL command.
Note:
SHOW TERMINAL does not list terminal fallback characteristics if any
are activated. If the Terminal Fallback Facility is enabled, you can
invoke the Terminal Fallback Utility (TFU) and issue the subcommand
SHOW TERMINAL/FALLBACK. See the VMS Terminal Fallback Utility
for more information.
Format:
SHOW TERMINAL [device-name[:]]
Additional information available:
Parameters
device-name[:] Specifies the name of the terminal for which you want the characteristics displayed. If you do not specify a device name, the system displays characteristics of the current device assigned to the logical name SYS$COMMAND.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter /OUTPUT without a file specification, the output is sent to the current process default output stream or device, identified by the logical name SYS$OUTPUT. If you enter /OUTPUT 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 any wildcard characters. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
/PERMANENT
/PERMANENT Requires LOG_IO or PHY_IO privileges. Displays the current permanent characteristics of the specified terminal.
TIME
Displays the current date and time. The DAY element is optional.
Format:
SHOW [DAY]TIME
Additional information available:
Examples
1. $ SHOW TIME
4-FEB-1989 00:03:45
The SHOW TIME command displays the current date and time at the
terminal.
TRANSLATION
Searches one or more logical name tables for a specified logical
name and returns the first equivalence name of the first match
found.
Format:
SHOW TRANSLATION logical-name
Additional information available:
ParametersCommand QualifiersExamples
Parameters
logical-name Specifies the logical name for which you want to display the translation. The logical name can have from 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/TABLE
/TABLE=name Specifies the name of the table to be searched. If you specify the table name 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. If you do not specify the /TABLE qualifier, the default is /TABLE=LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.
Examples
1. $ DEFINE DISK DBA1:
$ DEFINE/GROUP DISK DBA2:
$ SHOW TRANSLATION DISK
DISK = DBA1:(LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
The DEFINE commands place entries for the logical name DISK in both
the process and group logical name tables. Then, the SHOW
TRANSLATION command shows the equivalence name associated with the
logical name DISK. By default, the SHOW TRANSLATION command
searches process, job, group, and system tables, in that order, and
displays the first match that it finds. The logical name DISK from
the process logical name table (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) is displayed
because it is found before the name DISK in the group table.
2. $ RUN ORION
^Y
$ SHOW TRANSLATION TERMINAL
TERMINAL = _TTT3: (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
$ CONTINUE
The RUN command executes the image ORION.EXE. After CTRL/Y
interrupts the image, the SHOW TRANSLATION command displays a
logical name assignment. The CONTINUE command resumes the execution
of the image.
3. $ SHOW TRANSLATION/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM USER
USER = "DBA2:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
This command displays the equivalence string for the logical name
USER, which is located in the table LNM$SYSTEM. LNM$SYSTEM is a
logical name that translates to the name LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE, the
system logical name table. Because a table name is specified, the
SHOW TRANSLATION does not use the default search order. The command
searches for the name only in the specified table.
4. $ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY MYPROC -
_$ TEST_TABLE, LNM$PROCESS
$ SHOW TRANSLATION/TABLE=MYPROC FILER
FILER = "[SMITH.FILER]" (TEST_TABLE)
This example defines a logical name (MYPROC) that is equated to two
table names: TEST_TABLE and LNM$PROCESS. Because the logical name
translates iteratively to a logical name table, MYPROC must be
placed in a directory table. When you specify MYPROC with the SHOW
TRANSLATION command, the tables TEST_TABLE and LNM$PROCESS are
searched, in that order. The first match found is displayed.
USERS
Displays the user name and node name (in a VAXcluster environment)
of interactive, subprocess, and batch users on the system.
Format:
SHOW USERS [username]
Additional information available:
ParametersCommand QualifiersExamples
Parameters
username Specifies the user about whom you want information. Wildcard characters are allowed in the username parameter. If you specify a string, all users whose user names begin with the string are displayed. If you omit the username parameter, a list of all interactive, subprocess, and batch users is displayed. If you enter /NOOUTPUT, output is suppressed.
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/BATCH/CLUSTER/FULL/INTERACTIVE/NETWORK/NODE
/OUTPUT/SUBPROCESS
/BATCH
/BATCH (default) Displays all batch users in the VAXcluster environment. To restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use /BATCH with the /NODE qualifier.
/CLUSTER
/CLUSTER (default) Displays all users on all nodes in a VAXcluster environment.
/FULL
/FULL Displays the user name, the node name, the process name, the process identification code (PID), terminal names (both virtual and physical), and port information of all interactive, subprocess, and batch users on the system.
/INTERACTIVE
/INTERACTIVE (default) Displays all interactive users in the VAXcluster environment. To restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use /INTERACTIVE with the /NODE qualifier.
/NETWORK
/NETWORK Displays all network users in the VAXcluster environment. To restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use /NETWORK with the /NODE qualifier.
/NODE
/NODE[=(name,...)] Displays all (interactive, subprocess, and batch) users on the specified node or nodes. If you enter /NODE without a value, the qualifier displays all the interactive, subprocess, and batch users on the local node.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file-spec] /NOOUTPUT 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.
/SUBPROCESS
/SUBPROCESS Displays all subprocess users in the VAXcluster environment. To restrict the display to users on specific nodes, use /SUBPROCESS with the /NODE qualifier.
