HELPLIB.HLB  —  CMS  SHOW
object, or all instances of the specified object in the library search list. The options field contains one or more keywords associated with the name of the object. The options field can contain the following keywords: ALL--equivalent to GROUP GROUP (D) NOGROUP NONE--equivalent to NOGROUP You can specify either ALL, NONE, or the [NO]GROUP keyword. By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

6.3.7    /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.

6.4  –  Examples

    (1) CMS> SHOW GROUP

        Groups in CMS Library DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]

        ARTWORK   "graph display"
        OUT_DEFS  "output definition files"
        TEST_ART  "tests for graphs"

      This command displays the group name and the creation remark
      associated with the group, by default. Because no group name
      is specified on the command line, CMS lists all groups in the
      library.

    (2) CMS> SHOW GROUP ARTWORK/CONTENTS

        Groups in CMS Library DISKX:[WORK.CMSV3.CALL.TEST.CMSLIB]

        ARTWORK   "graph display"
                5666.ARTWRK
                CHAP_ART.TXT
                FIG3.FIG
                MODPARAM5.SDML
                TEST_ART

      This command produces a list of elements and groups that are
      members of group ARTWORK. The group TEST_ART was inserted into
      ARTWORK with the INSERT GROUP command; thus, as the contents of
      TEST_ART change, the elements accessible in the group ARTWORK
      change.

7  –  HISTORY

    Displays a chronological list of transactions performed on a
    CMS library. You can limit the number of transactions that are
    displayed by specifying different parameters and qualifiers on the
    command.

       Format:

          SHOW HISTORY  [object-expression]

7.1  –  Command Parameters

 object-expression

    Specifies an object about which history information is to be
    displayed. The object expression can be one or more class names,
    element names, group names, a wildcard expression, or a list of
    any of these, separated by commas. If you do not specify an object
    expression, CMS lists all classes, elements, and groups in the
    library.

7.2  –  Description

    The SHOW HISTORY command lists information about CMS library
    transactions. CMS records all transactions that update the
    library. The following transactions are not logged in the library
    history:

    ANNOTATE               SET LIBRARY
    DIFFERENCES            SHOW commands
    FETCH (no remark)      VERIFY (no qualifiers)
    RETRIEVE ARCHIVE

    The SHOW HISTORY command displays a chronological list of
    transactions. The transaction records are displayed in the
    following format:

    date time username command remark

    A space separates each item in the transaction record. Each item
    is explained below.

 date

    Displays the date the command was issued, in the following
    format:

    [d]d-mmm-yyyy

    For example:

      9-JUN-1988

 time

    Displays the time the command was issued, in the following
    format:

    hh:mm:ss

    For example:

      17:12:12
      09:02:33

 username

    Displays the user name of the person who issued the command.

 command

    Identifies the command that was issued. The string "CMS" does
    not appear as part of the command. The command name, option
    name (if any), and any parameters are displayed. If the command
    operates on a particular generation of an element, the element
    name is followed by the generation number enclosed in parentheses;
    for example, SEMANTICS.PAS(3). Qualifiers that indicate some
    modification of the library are logged; for example, the /NAME
    qualifier with a MODIFY command.

 remark

    Specifies a character string that was logged in the history file
    with this command, usually used to explain why the command was
    entered. The remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark
    was entered, a null remark ("") is displayed.

    The following is an example of one transaction record:

 11-AUG-1988 11:54:15 TAYLOR REPLACE SYNTAX.PAS(3) "RECORD and FOR
 loop syntax compatible"

    This record shows that on August 11, 1988, at 11:54, user TAYLOR
    issued the REPLACE command on SYNTAX.PAS, which created generation
    3.

    For any command that caused an unusual occurrence, CMS displays an
    asterisk in the first column.

    Note that because transaction records for elements, groups, or
    classes deleted from a library are retained (see DELETE ELEMENT,
    DELETE GROUP, and DELETE CLASS), SHOW HISTORY can display records
    for elements and classes that do not currently exist. If a deleted
    name is reused, SHOW HISTORY does not distinguish between the old
    and the new histories.

7.3  –  Qualifiers

7.3.1    /APPEND

    Controls whether CMS appends the command output to an existing
    file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND and the output
    file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide
    an output file specification (see the description for /OUTPUT),
    the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

7.3.2    /BEFORE=date-time

    Lists all history information prior to a specified date. By
    default, the time is the current date and time. The time value
    can be an absolute, delta, or combination time value, or one of
    the following keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.

7.3.3    /OCCLUDE[=option,...]

    Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
    object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
    search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
    associated with the name of the object. The options field can
    contain the following keywords:

       ALL--equivalent to OTHER
       OTHER (D)
       NOOTHER
       NONE--equivalent to NOOTHER

    You can specify either ALL, NONE, or the [NO]OTHER keyword.

    By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
    selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

7.3.4    /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.

7.3.5    /SINCE=date-time

    Specifies that only those history entries dated on or after the
    given time are to be displayed. The time value can be an absolute,
    delta, or combination time value, or one of the following
    keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. When the /SINCE qualifier
    is omitted, all transactions that occurred since the library was
    created are displayed. If you specify the /SINCE qualifier but do
    not specify a value, CMS defaults to /SINCE=TODAY.

7.3.6    /TRANSACTIONS=(keyword,...)

7.3.7    /NOTRANSACTIONS=(keyword,...)

    Displays all transaction records generated by a specific command.
    You can specify the following keywords with this qualifier:

    ACCEPT   FETCH     REMOVE
    ALL      INSERT    REPLACE
    CANCEL   MARK      RESERVE
    COPY     MODIFY    REVIEW
    CREATE   REJECT    SET
    DELETE   REMARK    UNRESERVE
                       VERIFY

    If you specify more than one keyword, you must enclose the keyword
    list in parentheses. The /TRANSACTIONS qualifier directs CMS
    to list transaction records for only the listed keywords. The
    /NOTRANSACTIONS qualifier directs CMS to list transaction records
    for all keywords except the listed keywords.

7.3.8    /UNUSUAL

    Controls whether transactions recorded as unusual occurrences
    are displayed. If you specify /UNUSUAL, only unusual transactions
    are displayed. By default, /NOUNUSUAL displays all transactions,
    including unusual occurrences. The following CMS transactions are
    defined as unusual occurrences:

    o  A RESERVE command specifying an element that is already
       reserved
    o  A concurrent replacement
    o  A VERIFY/RECOVER command
    o  A VERIFY/REPAIR command
    o  A CONVERT LIBRARY command
    o  A REMARK/UNUSUAL command

7.3.9    /USER=username

    Lists the transactions executed by the specified user.

      This command shows part of the early history of a library.

8  –  LIBRARY

    Displays the directory specification of the current CMS library.
    SHOW LIBRARY also checks whether the directory is a valid CMS
    library (unless you specify the /BRIEF qualifier).

       Format:

           SHOW LIBRARY

8.1  –  Description

    The SHOW LIBRARY command identifies the current CMS library. If
    you have not designated a CMS library for the current session
    (with SET LIBRARY or CREATE LIBRARY), this command issues an error
    message.

8.2  –  Qualifiers

8.2.1    /APPEND

    Controls whether CMS appends the command output to an existing
    file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND and the output
    file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide
    an output file specification (see the description for /OUTPUT),
    the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

8.2.2    /BRIEF

    The /BRIEF qualifier displays the directory specification (and
    does not lock the library) even if the default library is locked
    by another user. However, if the library needs recovery, it is
    not detected until another operation is performed.

8.2.3    /FULL

    The /FULL qualifier displays the current library directory
    specification, the number of elements, groups, classes,
    reservations, concurrent replacements, reviews pending, and
    the current reference copy directory specification, if any.

8.2.4    /INTERMEDIATE

    The /INTERMEDIATE qualifier displays the directory specification
    of the current CMS library.

8.2.5    /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.

8.3  –  Examples

    (1) CMS> SHOW LIBRARY
        Your CMS library list consists of:
          DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]

      This command displays the device and directory where the
      current CMS library is located.

    (2) CMS> SHOW LIBRARY/FULL

        Your CMS library list consists of:

          DISKX:[CODE.CMSLIB]
              and contains

                224 elements
                  4 groups
                  7 classes
                  6 reservations
                  0 concurrent replacements
                  5 reviews pending

            REFERENCE_COPY directory is DISKX:[CODE.REQUIRE]

      This command directs CMS to display additional information
      about the contents of the library.

9  –  RESERVATIONS

    Displays all current reservations and concurrent replacements in
    effect at the time the command is issued.

       Format:

          SHOW RESERVATIONS  [element-expression]

9.1  –  Command Parameters

 element-expression

    Specifies one or more elements for which CMS displays current
    reservation and concurrent replacement information. If you do
    not specify an element expression, information is displayed for
    all elements. An element expression can be an element name, a
    group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by
    commas.

9.2  –  Description

    The SHOW RESERVATIONS command provides information about current
    reservations and concurrent replacements. For each element that
    has one or more generations reserved, the output consists of the
    element name and the following:

    o  For each reservation--identification number, user, reserved
       generation number, date, time, and remark

    o  For each concurrent replacement--user, replaced generation
       number, date, time, and remark

    The elements are listed in alphabetical order.

9.3  –  Qualifiers

9.3.1    /APPEND

    Controls whether CMS appends the command output to an existing
    file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND and the output
    file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide
    an output file specification (see the description for /OUTPUT),
    the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

9.3.2    /BEFORE=date-time

    Lists current reservations that were executed prior to the
    specified time. The date value can be an absolute, delta, or
    combination time value, or one of the following keywords: TODAY,
    TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. By default, CMS displays all existing
    reservations.

9.3.3    /CONCURRENT

    Lists only concurrent reservations and concurrent replacements.

9.3.4    /GENERATION[=generation-expression]

    Lists reservations for a specific generation or set of generations
    in a class.

9.3.5    /NOREPLACEMENTS

    Indicates that concurrent replacements are not to be displayed.

9.3.6    /OCCLUDE[=option,...]

    Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
    object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
    search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
    associated with the name of the object. The options field can
    contain the following keywords:

       ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS)
       ELEMENT (D)
       NOELEMENT
       GROUP (D)
       NOGROUP
       CLASS (D)
       NOCLASS
       NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS)

    You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
    [NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords.

    By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
    selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

9.3.7    /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.

9.3.8    /SINCE=date-time

    Lists current reservations that were executed after the specified
    time. The time value can be an absolute, delta, or combination
    time value, or one of the following keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or
    YESTERDAY.

9.3.9    /USER=username

    Lists current reservations that were executed by the specified
    user. If you do not specify this qualifier, CMS lists reservations
    held by all users.

9.4  –  Example

    CMS> SHOW RESERVATIONS

    Reservations in CMS Library DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]

    AUDIT.FOR
        (2)    STEVEW     8      25-APR-1988 09:46:38 "add checks for
        file attributes"
      Concurrent replacements
               STEVEM     9      16-MAY-1988 16:01:30 "change %ascid

    LSTUTL.FOR
        (1)    STEVEM     5      17-MAY-1988 21:43:10 "bug fixes"

      This command lists the element name, the identification
      number of the reservation, the user who has it reserved, the
      generation number, and the date, time, and remark associated
      with the reservation for each element. In addition, CMS reports
      that the element AUDIT.FOR has been concurrently replaced,
      creating generation 9. As a result, user STEVEW must create a
      variant when he replaces the element.

10  –  REVIEWS_PENDING

    Displays a list of element generations that currently have review
    pending status.

       Format:

          SHOW REVIEWS_PENDING  [element-expression]

10.1  –  Command Parameters

 element-expression

    Specifies one or more elements which are to be searched for
    generations with pending reviews. By default, all elements are
    searched. An element expression can be an element name, a group
    name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by
    commas.

10.2  –  Description

    The SHOW REVIEWS_PENDING command provides information about
    element generations currently marked for review. For each element
    with generations under review, the output consists of the element
    name, user, generation number, date, time, replacement remark,
    and any associated review comments that were established with the
    REVIEW GENERATION command. The elements are listed in alphabetical
    order.

10.3  –  Qualifiers

10.3.1    /APPEND

    Controls whether CMS appends the command output to an existing
    file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND and the output
    file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide
    an output file specification (see the description for /OUTPUT),
    the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

10.3.2    /BEFORE=date-time

    Specifies that only generations placed under review before the
    indicated date and time are to be displayed. By default, all
    generations with reviews pending are displayed. The date value
    can be an absolute, delta, or combination time value, or one of
    the following keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.

10.3.3    /GENERATION[=generation-expression]

    Specifies that only reviews pending for generations matching
    the generation expression are to be displayed. By default, all
    generations with reviews pending are displayed.

10.3.4    /OCCLUDE[=option,...]

    Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
    object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
    search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
    associated with the name of the object. The options field can
    contain the following keywords:

       ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS)
       ELEMENT (D)
       NOELEMENT
       GROUP (D)
       NOGROUP
       CLASS (D)
       NOCLASS
       NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS)

    You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
    [NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords.

    By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
    selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

10.3.5    /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.

10.3.6    /SINCE=date-time

    Specifies that only generations placed under review after the
    indicated date and time are to be displayed. By default, all
    generations with reviews pending are displayed. The date value
    can be an absolute, delta, or combination time value, or one of
    the following keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.

10.3.7    /USER=username

    Specifies that only reviews pending for generations created by the
    indicated user are to be displayed. By default, all generations
    with reviews pending are displayed.
