Displays the key definitions created with the DEFINE/KEY command.
Format
SHOW KEY [key-name]
1 – Parameter
key-name
Specifies the name of the key whose definition you want
displayed. For a list of valid key names, see the DEFINE/KEY
command.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Displays all key definitions in the current state (or the
state specified with the /STATE qualifier). If you use the /ALL
qualifier, do not specify a key name.
2.2 /BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
/NOBRIEF
Displays only the key definition and state. The /BRIEF and
/NOFULL qualifiers are equivalent.
2.3 /DIRECTORY
Displays the names of all states for which keys have been
defined. If you have not specified a state with a key definition,
the SHOW KEY/DIRECTORY command displays DEFAULT for the state.
You cannot use the /DIRECTORY qualifier with any of the other
SHOW KEY qualifiers.
2.4 /FULL
/FULL
/NOFULL (default)
Displays all qualifiers associated with a definition. By default,
only the state of the definition and the definition itself are
displayed. The /FULL and /NOBRIEF qualifiers are equivalent.
2.5 /STATE
/STATE=(state-name[,...])
/NOSTATE
Displays the key definitions for the specified state. If you
specify only one state name, you can omit the parentheses. State
names can be any appropriate alphanumeric string. State names are
created with the DEFINE/KEY command.
If you omit the /STATE qualifier or use the /NOSTATE qualifier,
key definitions in the current state are displayed.
3 – Example
$ DEFINE/KEY/TERMINATE PF1 "ATTACH BOB"
%DCL-I-DEFKEY, DEFAULT key PF1 has been defined
$ SHOW KEY PF1
DEFAULT keypad definitions:
PF1 = "ATTACH BOB"
$ SHOW KEY/FULL PF1
DEFAULT keypad definitions:
PF1 = "ATTACH BOB" (noecho,terminate,noerase,nolock)
The SHOW KEY command in this example displays both the
definition and the state for the PF1 key. This is the default
display. The SHOW KEY/FULL command displays all qualifiers
associated with the key definition.
