The SHOW command is used to display either the description of a
single `context' or the file specification of the current context
database.
A `context' is a named set of values that tailors the DECset tools
to a specific software development activity (for example, fixing
bugs or implementing enhancements).
The SHOW command line has one of the following forms, depending upon
whether information about a context or a context database is being
shown:
DECSET SHOW CONTEXT [context-name] [/DATABASE=database-file]
DECSET SHOW DATABASE
DCL wild cards may not be used in either the context-name or
database-file argument.
If context-name is not specified in the DECSET SHOW CONTEXT command,
the value of the DECSET$CONTEXT logical name is used (if that logical
name is defined). If the context name cannot be determined, an error
message is displayed.
The /DATABASE qualifier allows you to show information about a
context that is defined in the specified database. If the /DATABASE
qualifier is missing, the value of the DECSET$CONTEXT_DB logical name
is used; if this logical name is undefined, your SYS$LOGIN directory
is searched for a file named DECSET$KNOWN_CONTEXTS.DECSET_CONTEXT_DB.
If a database cannot be located, an error message is displayed.
