PSHOW Command

Process Definition Commands
Considerations
If you press the BREAK key during output and the process is prompting, the portion of
the output viewed since the process prompted is not removed from the output queue.
PSHOW Command
The PSHOW command displays accumulated output from a defined process or input
that is yet to be sent to the process. The display can be sent to a specified file or variable
instead of to your terminal. Neither the output queue nor the input queue is affected by
this command. You can use PSHOW to view input or output text after issuing a
NOWAIT command or after pressing the BREAK key during output.
out-option
is any of the following options:
OUT file-name
names the file to which the display output should be redirected. If the file does
not exist, it is created.
OUTV variable
names an existing variable to which the display output should be redirected.
queue-option
is any of the following options:
INPUT
shows the contents of the input queue.
OUTPUT
shows the contents of the output queue. This is the default.
process-list
is a list of unique, symbolic names you have assigned to defined processes. If you
specify an asterisk (*), information for all your defined processes is displayed.
Considerations
PSHOW does not remove text from the input or output queue as POUT does. You
would typically use PSHOW Command to monitor the progress of a process by either
Note. If your TACL use list is not set up to include :utils:DP, you must precede the PSHOW
command with :utils:dp.
