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

The format of the SHOW command is:

SH[OW] -C[OMMAND] -F[ILE]=[gde-command-file]
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]

-COMMAND: Displays GDE commands that recreate the current Global Directory state.

-F[ILE]=gde-command-file: Optionally specifies a file to hold the GDE commands produced by -COMMAND. -FILE must must always appear after -COMMAND.

-NAME, -REGION, -SEGMENT, -MAP, -TEMPLATE, and -ALL are qualifiers that cause GDE to display selected portions of the Global Directory 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.

If you want to export the current Global Directory state, create a GDE command file with the SHOW -COMMAND -FILE=gde-command-file and run it in the target environment.

Example:

GDE> show -template
