Examples

   (1) CMS> SHOW GENERATION/BRIEF

       Element generations in CMS Library DISKX:[TAYLOR.CMSLIB]

       CCM.FOR/2           CCM1.FOR/1          COPYTEST.FOR/2

     This command directs CMS to display only the element name
     and the number of the latest main line generation for each
     element. Because no element is specified in the command line,
     CMS displays information about all elements in the library.

   (2) CMS> SHOW GENERATION CCM.FOR

       Element generations in CMS Library DISKX:[TAYLOR.CMSLIB]

       CCM.FOR       2       7-DEC-1988 14:15:51 SMITH "header changed"

     This command displays the element name, generation number,
     date, time, and remark associated with the latest main line
     generation for element CCM.FOR.

   (3) CMS> SHOW GENERATION/FULL CCM.FOR
       Element generations in CMS Library DISKX:[TAYLOR.CMSLIB]

       CCM.FOR      2       6-MAR-1988 17:34:04 SMITH "header changed"
               File creation:       6-MAR-1988 17:24
               File revision:       6-MAR-1988 17:24 (1)
               Record format:      Variable length
               Record attributes:  Carriage return carriage control

     This command produces information about the file creation
     and revision date and time, the file revision number, and
     the record format and attributes, in addition to the standard
     CMS transaction information (element name, generation number,
     date, time, user, and remark). This additional information
     describes the file that was used to create the particular
     element generation, in this case generation 2 of CCM.FOR.

   (4) CMS> SHOW GENERATION/GENERATION=RELEASE5 -
       _CMS> /FORMAT="$ CMS FETCH #E/GENERATION=#G" -)
       _CMS> /OUTPUT=FETCH_CLASS.COM

     This example produces a file named FETCH_CLASS.COM that
     contains a fetch command for each element that belongs to
     the class named RELEASE5. The FETCH command retrieves the
     element of the correct generation from the RELEASE5 class. The
     contents of a file produced by this command might look like the
     following:

         $ CMS FETCH INIT.FOR/GENERATION=6
         $ CMS FETCH OUTPUT.FOR/GENERATION=7
         $ CMS FETCH SEARCH.FOR/GENERATION=3
