SHOW EQUATES The SHOW EQUATES command displays information about all available global and
local equates.
You cannot use this command to display a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command that
has been replaced with an NCL procedure of the same name (using the SYSPARMS
CMDREPL command). You must use the SHOW PRELOAD command to do this.
SHOW EQUATES
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 0.
You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, including the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
Messages NNM0245, NNM0246, NNM0428, and NNM0999 indicate the results of
this command. Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER Messages Manual or NonStop
NET/MASTER MS online help for a description of these messages.
A global equate is a symbol created by this command during NonStop
NET/MASTER MS startup in the INIT NCL procedure, thereby becoming the
default for all NonStop NET/MASTER MS users. There are two types of global
equates:
Global equates where the symbol is not a NonStop NET/MASTER MS
command. This type equates the symbol with a text value. When you display
all available equates using the SHOW EQUATES command, this type of global
equate is displayed with type GLBL.
Global equates where the symbol is a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command.
This type replaces the NonStop NET/MASTER MS command with the text
value. When you display all available equates using the SHOW EQUATES
command, this type of global equate is displayed with type REPL.
A local equate is a symbol created by an individual user using this command after
NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup. A local equate is effective only for a specific
user and only in the OCS window from which this command is executed. When
you exit from OCS, local equates are lost. When you display all available equates
using the SHOW EQUATES command, this type of equate is displayed with type
LOCL.
When the text value assigned to a symbol is displayed with a plus sign (+) at the
end of the text, it indicates that the plus sign (+) is substituted by a blank when the
text value is processed.
