SHOW, LOGICAL, Examples

 *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    1.$ SHOW LOGICAL/PROCESS
      (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
        "SYS$COMMAND" = "_TTB4:"
        "SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
        "SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
        "SYS$ERROR" = "_TTB4:"
        "SYS$INPUT" = "_TTB4:"
        "SYS$LOGIN" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
        "SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE" = "WORK6:"
        "SYS$OUTPUT" = "_TTB4:"
        "SYS$OUTPUT" = "DKA2:"
        "SYS$SCRATCH" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all
      process logical names and their translations. (Note that
      /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS would produce the same display as /PROCESS.)

    2.$ SHOW LOGICAL INFILE
        "INFILE" = "WORK6:[LOGAN]PAYROLL.EXE" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the
      translation for the logical name INFILE. The response indicates
      that the logical name was found in the process logical name
      table.

    3.$ SHOW LOGICAL/GROUP
         .
         .
         .

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all
      group logical names and their translations. (Note that
      /TABLE=LNM$GROUP would produce the same display as /GROUP.)

    4.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=SYSTEM  SYS$LIBRARY
        "SYS$LIBRARY" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the
      translation of the logical name SYS$LIBRARY in the system
      table. The response indicates that SYS$LIBRARY is defined
      in the system table, and that the logical name has two
      translations.

    5.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$GROUP/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM SYS$DISK
        "SYS$DISK" = "ZZZ3:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example is qualified by both
      the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP and /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifiers. The
      response indicates that the logical name SYS$DISK was found in
      the system logical name table. When you enter two conflicting
      qualifiers, as in this example, only the last qualifier you
      specify is used.

    6.$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY

      The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the logical
      names in the process directory table. Each name is either a
      table name, or a name that translates iteratively to a table.
