entity-occurrence-name

Specifies the name of the entity occurrence to display or punch. If there is no current associated entity, entity-occurrence-name must be the fully qualified name of an existing occurrence of the specified entity type. For example, to display an area, you must either qualify the area with the name of its associated segment or obtain currency on that segment before issuing the DISPLAY AREA statements.

WITh

entity-option-keyword

Specifies options to display or punch. Entity-option-keyword differs for each entity. See the description of a particular entity for more information.

VERB

Specifies the verb with which the entity statement is to be displayed or punched. For example, if VERB CREATE is specified, the output of the DISPLAY/PUNCH statement is a CREATE statement. If VERB DROP is specified, the output is a DROP statement, and so on. If this clause is not coded, the verb used is the one shown as the default in the syntax diagram for the specific entity being displayed.
