INFO DEFINE Command
INFO DEFINE Command
Use the INFO DEFINE command to display the attributes and values associated with
one or more existing DEFINEs in the process file segment (PFS) of the current TACL
process. For more information about DEFINEs and their usage, see the Guardian
User’s Guide.
OUT list-file
specifies a device, or a sequential file accessible to the sequential I/O (SIO) facility,
that is to receive the listing from INFO DEFINE. If you omit this option, TACL writes
the listing to its current OUT file.
If you specify an OUT file that does not exist, TACL creates an EDIT file named
list-file. If you specify an OUT file that already exists, TACL appends the
information to the end of the file.
define-name-list
is a list of one or more existing DEFINEs whose attributes and values you want to
display. For define-name-list, specify either of these:
define-template
( define-template [ , define-template ] ... )
define-template
is a DEFINE name that can optionally contain template characters:
* matches zero or more characters
? matches a single character
A DEFINE template that consists entirely of =* or ** causes all existing
DEFINEs to be displayed.
DETAIL
specifies that the listing is to include the entire contents of each DEFINE specified
by define-name-list. That is, all the attributes as well as the values
themselves are displayed.
Considerations
•
If you omit the DETAIL option, the INFO DEFINE command displays only three
items: the name of the DEFINE, its CLASS, and an attribute that depends on the
class. If you include the DETAIL option, the display lists every attribute that has a
value, along with that value. The examples that follow show both types of display.
