Generic DISPLAY/PUNCH Statement

The DISPLAY and PUNCH operations produce as output the DDL statements that describe the named entity. DISPLAY and PUNCH operations do not update the entity description.

The location of the output depends on which verb is used and whether you are using the online or the batch command facility:

• DISPLAY displays online output at the terminal and lists batch output in the command facility's activity listing.
• PUNCH writes the output to the system punch file. All punched output is also listed in the command facility's activity listing.
