The default installation procedure places the LKE utility package in a directory specified by the logical name GTM$DIST The installation also creates command files that define GTM$DIST and assign the symbol LKE to be the foreign command, $GTM$DIST:LKE.

Invoke LKE using the GT.M symbol LKE at the DCL shell prompt. If this does not work, consult your system manager to investigate setup and file access issues.

LKE requires that the environmental variable gtmgbldir be defined.

        
               $ LKE
        
        
            

When LKE is ready to accept commands, it displays the LKE> prompt. When additional information is entered on the DCL command line after the LKE command, LKE processes the additional information as its command.

        
               $ LKE SHOW 
        
        
            

This command displays all current LOCKs and then returns to the DCL prompt. To leave LKE, enter the EXIT command at the LKE>prompt.
