Displays the values of system parameters in the SYSGEN work area, plus the default, minimum, and maximum values of the parameters and their units of measure. Format SHOW parameter-name
1 – Parameter
parameter-name Specifies the name of a system parameter. If you enter a period (.), it is interpreted as a request for the system parameter specified in the last SET parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name command. Beginning in OpenVMS Version 8.2, specifies OBSOLETE in the Units column for any specified parameter that is obsolete.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ACP
Specifies that all ACP parameter values are displayed.
2.2 /ALL
Specifies that all parameter values other than SPECIAL parameter values are displayed.
2.3 /BI
Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the VAXBI bus are displayed.
2.4 /CLUSTER
Specifies that all CLUSTER parameter values are displayed.
2.5 /DYNAMIC
Specifies that all DYNAMIC parameter values are displayed.
2.6 /GEN
Specifies that all GEN parameter values are displayed.
2.7 /HEX
Specifies that the values of parameters be displayed in hexadecimal representation. Specify the /HEX system parameter name or the parameter type. If you specify the /HEX qualifier with the /NAMES qualifier, /HEX is ignored.
2.8 /JOB
Specifies that all JOB parameter values are displayed.
2.9 /LGI
Specifies that all LGI parameter values are displayed.
2.10 /MAJOR
Specifies that all MAJOR parameter values are displayed.
2.11 /MULTIPROCESSING
Specifies that all MULTIPROCESSING parameters are displayed.
2.12 /NAMES
Specifies that the names of all parameters are displayed.
2.13 /OBSOLETE
Specifies that the names of all obsolete parameters are displayed.
2.14 /PQL
Specifies that all PQL parameter values are displayed.
2.15 /RMS
Specifies that all RMS parameter values are displayed.
2.16 /SCS
Specifies that all SCS parameter values are displayed.
2.17 /SPECIAL
Specifies that all parameter values reserved for VSI use are displayed.
2.18 /STARTUP
Specifies that the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure is displayed.
2.19 /SYS
Specifies that all SYS parameter values are displayed.
2.20 /TTY
Specifies that all terminal parameter values are displayed.
2.21 /XMI
/XMI[=BIindex] Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the XMI bus are displayed. The /XMI qualifier also displays node and nexus numbers and generic names of all processors, adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and interconnection devices such as the NI. Use of the SHOW/XMI=BIindex command requires the CMEXEC privilege.
3 – Description
Parameter values are displayed in decimal unless the /HEX qualifier is specified. Note that ASCII values are displayed in ASCII by default. When parameter names are abbreviated on a VAX platform, the first parameter matching the abbreviation is selected for display. No ambiguity checks are made. On an Alpha or I64 platform, all parameters whose names match the abbreviation are printed. For example, a specification of SHOW GBL on a VAX system displays only the GBLSECTIONS parameter. To display the GBLPAGFIL parameter, you must specify SHOW GBLPAGF (to avoid further ambiguity with the GBLPAGES parameter). On an Alpha or I64 system, the same SHOW GBL command displays GBLSECTIONS, GBLPAGES, and GBLPAGFIL. You can enter a period (.) to indicate that you want to work with the system parameter that was specified in the last SET parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name command.
4 /STARTUP
Displays the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure. Format SHOW/STARTUP
4.1 – Parameters
None.
4.2 – Qualifiers
None.
4.3 – Example
SYSGEN> SHOW/STARTUP Startup command file = SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM This command displays the name of the site-independent startup command procedure.
