POOL 
POOL verifies the integrity of STN's internal buffer pool and provides useful information for tuning PARAM 
POOL^SIZE. 
POOL 
•  TOTAL SIZE—Shows word size of pool. 
•  IN USE—Shows words currently in use in the user buffer area. 
•  HIGH—Shows the highest value of IN USE since process startup or the most recent backup takeover. 
•  GETS—Shows total number of buffer allocation requests. 
•  PUTS—Shows total number of buffer releases. 
•  REJECTS—Shows the number of requests that failed due to pool exhaustion or fragmentation. 
•  TRIMS—Shows the number of trims (where a large buffer is allocated and the unneeded trailing portion is 
released while the front part is still used). 
•  BUFS IN USE—Shows number of buffers allocated, not yet released. HIGH specifies the highest value of 
BUFS IN USE. 
•  $RECEIVE msgs—Shows total user data and system messages on $RECEIVE. 
•  BYTES RCVD—Shows total bytes read on $RECEIVE. 
•  BYTES REPLIED—Shows total bytes replied to $RECEIVE. 
•  FRAGMENTS -- Shows number of fragments 
•  FRAGSIZE -- Shows size of fragment 
PROMPT "<text>" 
This command redefines the prompt sent to the terminal for new STNCOM input. It is also available in SSHCOM. 
<text> may contain any displayable character except quote ("), and may be 1 to 64 characters long. Certain embedded 
commands (case independent) in <text> are replaced as follows: 
•  $P – the target process name 
•  $X – the target expand node name 
•  $T – target system LCT time in format HH:MM 
•  $D – target system LCT date in format yyyy/mm/dd 
•  $N – ascii carriage return line feed. This allows for multi-line prompts including blank lines. 
•  $B – ascii bel character which some terminal emulators will sound as a beep tone. 
Example: 
PROMPT "$X.$P $D $T STN> " 
\DEV.$STN2 2010/08/06 23:59 STN> 
PROMPT "$T $P> " 
23:59 $STN2> 
The default setting is PROMPT "% ". 
The PROMPT command remains in effect until STNCOM terminates. The null string ("") can be specified to disable a 
previously entered prompt string. 
If it is desired to retain the prompt across STNCOM sessions, command STNCOM_PROMPT should be used. See the 
description for STNCOM_PROMPT for more details.
