The SHOW command displays information contained in the Global Directory about names, regions, and segments.

The format of the SHOW command is:

    SH[OW] /N[AME] [name-space]
    SH[OW] /R[EGION] [region-name]
    SH[OW] /S[EGMENT] [segment-name]
    SH[OW] /M[AP] [R[EGION]=region-name]
    SH[OW] /T[EMPLATE] 
    SH[OW] /A[LL]
    

The object-type is optional. /MAP, /TEMPLATE, and /ALL are special qualifiers that cause selected portions of the Global Directory to be displayed as follows:

/MAP: Displays the current mapping of all names, regions, segments, and files. This qualifier corresponds to the section of the SHOW report titled ***MAP***. The output of a SHOW /MAP may be restricted to a particular region by specifying a /REGION qualifier with a region name argument.

/TEMPLATE: Displays the current region and segment templates. This qualifier corresponds to the section of the SHOW report titled ***TEMPLATES***.

/ALL: Displays the entire Global Directory. This qualifier corresponds to displaying "all" sections of the SHOW report: ***TEMPLATES***, ***NAMES***, ***REGIONS***, ***SEGMENTS***, ***MAP***.

By default, SHOW displays /ALL.

If you want to print the Global Directory, create a log file by executing LOG /ON= before executing the SHOW command. The /LOG command captures all the commands entered and output. You can print the log file if you want a hard copy record.

Example:

    
            
    GDE> SHOW /TEMPLATE
    
    
    
         

        *** TEMPLATES ***

     LOCK = 40

    

This displays only the TEMPLATES section of the Global Directory.
