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.
