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 ***
           Def Rec Key Null
    Region Coll Size Size Subs Journaling

     LOCK = 40
        *** TEMPLATES ***
           Def Rec Key Null

     LOCK = 40

     LOCK = 40

    

This displays only the TEMPLATES section of the Global Directory.
