The %SHOW command allows the user to obtain information about the current definitions relating to individual AID commands, to find out what the last entry of a command looked like, and which command was entered last. It is also possible to use the subcommand name to request the command in which it was defined or to output a list of all entered
subcommand names with the associated command type. Depending on how uppercase and lowercase notation was defined in the %AID command, the original entry of the command is either reproduced or the input string is converted to uppercase letters.
show-target can be used to specify a command, a subcommand name or an AID keyword for all current subcommands.
Command | Operand |
%SH[OW] | [show-target] |
The effect of %SHOW without an operand is to output the AID command entered directly beforehand. If no AID command has been entered for the task, an error message is issued. A %SHOW for one of the commands for which it is not intended results in a syntax error. The command may be used in command and subcommand strings.
%SHOW does not alter the program state.
show-target |
designates an AID command, a specific subcommand or all entered subcommands. The commands permitted for this command can also be specified in the abbreviated form in show-target.
Command or subcommand | Information |
| The current valid settings for the %AID, %AINT and %BASE commands and the version of AID loaded. |
| The current settings for %BASE, %AINT and %SYMLIB, the TSN, TID and the version of the operating system and type of computer are output. |
| The command output is always directed to SYSOUT and contains the following information
|
| The input string is output for each registered %CONTROL. |
| The current number and start address (V'...') is output. |
| The entered command and if appropriate the virtual address of the last hit are output. |
| Without the test-point entry, all active test points are output. Otherwise AID shows the entered command in which test-point was declared. |
| The input string is output for each active %ON |
| The valid medium-a-quantity values for the commands that can be controlled via %OUT are output. |
| All implicitly or explicitly entered output files are listed, with their link names. |
| The last %QUALIFY command is output. |
| The registered libraries are output with the associated base qualification and the TSN. |
| The default values of the %TRACE operands are output. |
| The names of all active subcommands are output with the type of the AID command in which they were defined. |
