Parameters

entity-type-name

Identifies the type of entity to display or punch.

entity-occurrence-name

Specifies the name of the entity occurrence to display or punch. Entity-occurrence-name must be the name of an existing occurrence of the specified entity type.

version-specification

Optionally, qualifies the named entity occurrence with a version number. The default is the current session option.

Note: Expanded syntax for version-specification is presented in Chapter 13, “Parameter Expansions".

PREpared by user-id

Identifies the user who is punching or displaying the entity description. User-id can be any 1- to 32-character value; if the value includes spaces or delimiters, it must be enclosed in quotes. The default is the current session option.

If SIGNON OVERRIDE is not allowed, the PREPARED BY clause is ignored and the user is identified as the user known to the runtime.

PASsword is password

Supplies the user's password. If user-id is assigned a password in the dictionary (through the IDD DDDL compiler), password must be that password; if not, the PASSWORD clause is invalid. The default password is the current session option.

WITh

Displays or punches only the parts of the entity description specified by entity-option-keyword in addition to parts that always are included such as the entity occurrence name and version. WITH overrides the session defaults specified on the SET OPTIONS statement.

ALSo WITh

Displays or punches the parts of the entity description specified by entity-option-keyword in addition to those already in effect (through the SET OPTIONS statement or through the WITH clause in the current DISPLAY statement).

WITHOut

Does not display or punch the specified options. Other options in effect (through the SET OPTIONS statement or through WITH or ALSO WITH in the current DISPLAY statement) are displayed.

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.

TO

For PUNCH operations only, specifies the destination of punched output. The default is the current session option.

module-specification

For PUNCH operations only, directs output to the named module in the dictionary.

Note: Expanded syntax for module-specification is presented in Chapter 13, “Parameter Expansions".

SYSpch

For PUNCH operations only, directs output to the SYSPCH system punch file

VERB

Specifies the verb with which the entity statement is to be displayed or punched. For example, if VERB ADD is specified, the output of the DISPLAY/PUNCH statement is an ADD statement; if VERB DELETE is specified, the output is a DELETE statement; and so on. If this clause is not coded, the compiler uses the current session option.

AS COMments

Outputs DDL syntax as compiler comments, with *+ preceding the text of the statement. The default is the current session option.

AS SYNtax

Outputs DDL syntax which can be edited and resubmitted to the schema or subschema compiler. The default is the current session option.
