SHOW VARTABLES The SHOW VARTABLES command displays information about all currently allocated
vartables. A vartable is a memory-resident database for storing items of data that may
change during the execution of an NCL process. Vartables are defined and allocated
for use by using the NCL VARTABLE ALLOC verb. Displays can include global
vartables.

CACHED
specifies cached vartables. A cached vartable is a local copy of a global vartable.
The visibility of a cached vartable is identical to that of any vartable specified as
global. Efficiency is greatly enhanced by defining frequently read but rarely
updated global vartables as CACHED. These vartables are enabled by the
VARTABLE GET verb using SCOPE=CACHED (refer to the NonStop
NET/MASTER NCL Reference Manual for further information).
G90PRC
specifies G90PRC vartables. The visibility of these vartables is restricted to NCL
processes executing in the same Guardian process. Efficiency is enhanced by
defining vartables that require some sharing but do not require full global scope as
G90PRC (refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Reference Manual for further
information).
GLOBAL
specifies global vartables. These are vartables defined by the VARTABLE ALLOC
verb using SCOPE=GLOBAL. The display is restricted to global vartables.
ncl-id
specifies process vartables owned by the NCL process with the specified NCL
identifier. Process vartables are defined by the VARTABLE ALLOC verb using
SCOPE=PROCESS. The NCL process must be executing in the region of the user
issuing the command.
