DISPLAY Parameters

entity-type

Identifies the type of entity to be displayed or punched.

Entity-type must be a valid system generation entity type.

Note: For more information about valid entity types, see Statement Format.

entity-occurrence-name

Specifies a single entity occurrence to be displayed or punched.

Entity-occurrence-name must be the name of an existing occurrence of the specified entity type. The named occurrence does not have to be associated with the current system, line, or physical terminal.

Version is version-number

Qualifies the named entity occurrence with a version number.

Version-number must be an integer in the range 1 through 9,999. The default is 1.

ALL entity-type

Directs the system generation compiler to display or punch either all entities associated with a specific system or all occurrences of the named entity type associated with the current system. Entity-type-name must be a valid system generation entity type.

Note: For more information about valid entity types, see Statement Format.

WITh

Directs the system generation compiler to override the options specified by the DISPLAY WITH and DISPLAY ALSO WITH parameters of the SET OPTIONS statement and to include only the indicated information in the displayed or punched definition. The override applies to the current DISPLAY/PUNCH request only.

ALSo WITh

Directs the system generation compiler to include the indicated information in the displayed or punched definition in addition to the information included because of the options specified by the DISPLAY WITH and DISPLAY ALSO WITH parameters of the SET OPTIONS statement. The additional information is included for the current DISPLAY/PUNCH request only.

WITHOut

Directs the system generation compiler to exclude the indicated information from the information included in the displayed or punched definition because of the options specified by the DISPLAY WITH and DISPLAY ALSO WITH parameters of the SET OPTIONS statement. The information is excluded for the current DISPLAY/PUNCH request only.

DETails

Includes or excludes the entity-specific characteristics that make up the entity definition.

HIStory

Includes or excludes the dates when the entity definition was created and last updated and the identification of the users who created and last updated the definition (given by the PREPARED BY and REVISED BY parameters). History is maintained only for the following entity types: DEFAULT PROGRAM, DESTINATION, LINE, LOGICAL TERMINAL, PHYSICAL TERMINAL, PROGRAM, QUEUE, SYSTEM, and TASK.

ALL

Includes or excludes both the entity history and the details of the entity definition.

NONe

Includes only the name and version number (if applicable) of the entity occurrence in the displayed or punched definition.

NONE is meaningful only with WITH.

AS

Specifies whether the displayed or punched definition appears as comments or syntax.

COMments

Specifies that each line of the entity definition is displayed or punched as a comment.

Comment lines generated by the compiler are indicated by an asterisk and a plus sign (*+) in the first two columns and are ignored when resubmitted to the compiler.

SYNtax

Specifies that the displayed or punched definition appears in syntax format. Definitions that are displayed (online only) or punched (online and batch) as syntax can be edited and resubmitted to the compiler as input.

TO

For PUNCH statements only, specifies the destination of the punched output.

module-specification

Causes the compiler to write punched output to the specified module.

Expanded syntax for module-specification is presented next.

SYSpch

Causes the compiler to write punched output to the SYSPCH file.
