This SHOW QUEUE display includes the date and time at which a retained job completed and the queue on which it executed. You can specify the /RETAIN qualifier with the PRINT, SUBMIT, or SET ENTRY command to specify the circumstances under which you want your job to be retained in a queue. In this example, the user set job retention to be one hour after job completion. Depending on the queue's job retention policy, the job might be deleted from the queue at 16:56. (See the PRINT, SUBMIT, or SET ENTRY command descriptions for more information on the /RETAIN qualifier.)
Displays information about queue characteristics defined for the system. A characteristic is a user-defined attribute of a batch or output queue, such as ink color.
SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS
[characteristic-name]
characteristic-name
Specifies the name of a characteristic. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for the characteristic-name parameter is the asterisk wildcard (*). Thus, information about all characteristics is displayed when you do not specify a characteristic name.You create a characteristic name with the DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC command. You can then assign it to a queue by using the INITIALIZE/QUEUE, the SET QUEUE, or the START/QUEUE command with the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier. You can also specify characteristics for a job by using the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier with the PRINT, the SUBMIT, or the SET ENTRY command.
The SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command displays the characteristic name and number of characteristics defined for the system. To see which characteristics are associated with a particular queue, use the SHOW QUEUE command with the /FULL qualifier.
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default the output of the SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command is sent to the current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.The file specification may not include any wildcard characters. If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
#1
$ SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS Characteristic name Number ------------------- ------ BLUEINK 6 BROWNINK 25 COLOR_CHART 1 REDINK 0 TEXMAC_JOB 2
#2The SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command in this example displays all the characteristics that have been defined for this system.
$ SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS *INK Characteristic name Number ------------------- ------ BLUEINK 6 BROWNINK 25 REDINK 0
The SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command in this example displays the name and number of all characteristics that end with INK.
Displays information about forms defined for the system. Forms define the size and type paper and the layout of text that are used for print jobs.
SHOW QUEUE/FORM [form-name]
form-name
Specifies the name of the form. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for the form-name parameter is an asterisk (*), which means that the names of all forms on the system are displayed.
The SHOW QUEUE/FORM command displays the name and number of forms defined for the system. To display the attributes associated with forms, use the /FULL qualifier.Use the SHOW QUEUE/FORM command to find out which forms are available on the system. To see which forms are available on one or more queues, use the SHOW QUEUE command with the /FULL qualifier.
Form names are created by the DEFINE/FORM command. You can specify a particular form for a print job by using the /FORM qualifier with the PRINT or SET ENTRY command. Forms are assigned to queues with the INITIALIZE/QUEUE, the SET QUEUE, or the START/QUEUE command.
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a brief description (form names, numbers, and descriptions) about the forms on the system./FULL
Displays a full description (including paper size and margin settings) about the forms on the system./OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default the output of the SHOW QUEUE/FORM command is sent to the current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.The file specification can not include the asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters. If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
#1
$ SHOW QUEUE/FORM DEFAULT Form name Number Description --------- ------ ----------- DEFAULT 0 System-defined default
#2The SHOW QUEUE/FORM command in this example displays only the default form.

This SHOW QUEUE/FORM command also displays the names of all form types and stock for the system. By using the /FULL qualifier, you can see what image size has been set for each form type.
Provides information about the queue manager(s) on the system or OpenVMS Cluster.
SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS [queue-manager-name]
queue-manager-name
Specifies the name of the queue manager for which you want information displayed. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for the queue-manager-name parameter is the asterisk (*) wildcard character. If no queue manager name is specified, information on all queue managers is displayed.
The SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS command displays information about the queue manager(s) on the system or OpenVMS Cluster. The command assumes the /BRIEF qualifier as the default, and displays a one-line description that includes each queue manager's name, status, and process node name. The /FULL qualifier displays the following information:
- Full file specification of the queue database master file (disk, directory, and file name of the shared master file)
- Name of queue manager
- Status of queue manager
- The node name on which the queue manager process is running (if the queue manager process is currently running)
- Prioritized list of nodes on which the queue manager process can run
- Disk and directory containing the queue database files specific to the particular queue manager
If a queue manager process is not running, the current location node name will not be displayed for that queue manager.
The queue manager status may be one of the following:
State Description Start pending The queue manager process is attempting to start up, however, it is waiting for a node on which it can run to enter the cluster. Starting The queue manager is in the process of starting up as a result of a START /QUEUE /MANAGER command or failing over from another node in the cluster. Running The queue manager is running. Failing over The queue manager is in the process of failing over to another node in the cluster. Stopping The queue manager is in the process of stopping. Stopped The queue manager is stopped and will not start until a START /QUEUE /MANAGER command is executed.
/BRIEF
Displays a one-line description of queue manager(s) on the system or cluster. The information displayed includes the name and status of the queue manager and the node on which its process is running. The /BRIEF qualifier is present by default./FULL
Displays complete information about queue manager(s) on the system or cluster. The /FULL qualifier overrides the /BRIEF qualifier.
#1

$ SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS Queue manager BATCHQ_MANAGER, running, on BBBBBB:: Queue manager PRINTQ_MANAGER, starting, on AAAAAA:: Queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, running, on FFFFFF:: Queue manager TRANSFER_MANAGER, stopped
#3The SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS command in this example shows information about the queue manager in brief format. The /BRIEF qualifier is the default and does not need to be specified.
$ SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS/FULL SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER Master file: SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]QMAN$MASTER.DAT; Queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, running, on FFFFFF:: /ON=(FFFFFF, EEEEEE, CCCCCC, BBBBBB, AAAAAA, *) Database location: DISK1:[QUEUES]
The command, SHOW QUEUE/MANAGERS/FULL SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER, in this example shows a request for a specific queue manager by name.
Displays the current disk quota that is authorized for a specific user on a specific disk. This display includes a calculation of the amount of space available and the amount of overdraft that is permitted.Requires read (R) access to the quota file in order to display the quotas of other users.
SHOW QUOTA
The SHOW QUOTA command indicates whether a quota exists for any specific user on a specific disk. The display that results gives the quotas used, authorized, and available in blocks. The amount of overdraft permitted is also shown.
/DISK[=device-name[:]]
Specifies the disk whose quotas are to be examined. By default, the current default disk (defined by the logical name SYS$DISK) is examined./USER=uic or identifier
Specifies which user's quotas are to be displayed. By default, the current user's quotas are displayed.
#1
$ SHOW QUOTA User [360,010] has 2780 blocks used, 7220 available, of 10000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 500 blocks on DISK$
#2The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the amount of disk space authorized, used, and still available on the current default disk for the present user. The permitted overdraft in this example is 500 blocks.
$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,007]/DISK=XXX1: %SYSTEM-F-NODISKQUOTA, no disk quota entry for this UIC
#3The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the fact that the user with user identification code (UIC) [360,007] has no disk quota allocation on device XXX1.
$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,111] User [360,111] has 27305 blocks used, 2305 OVERDRAWN, of 25000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 4000 blocks on DISK$
The SHOW QUOTA command in this example illustrates a user with an overdrawn quota.
Displays the current default values for the multiblock count, the multibuffer count, the network transfer size, the prolog level, and the extend quantity.
SHOW RMS_DEFAULT
None.
The SHOW RMS_DEFAULT command displays information that OpenVMS Record Management Services (RMS) uses for file operations including the default values for the multibuffer count, the multiblock count, the network block count, the prolog level and the extend quantity. The command provides these values at both the current process level and at the system level.The SHOW RMS_DEFAULT command lists the multibuffer count values for each of the file types, including the values for the three classes of sequential files (disk, magtape and unit record).
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Specifies the file to which the display is written (default is SYS$OUTPUT). The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default output file name and .LIS the default output file type.If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
$ SHOW RMS_DEFAULT MULTI- | MULTIBUFFER COUNTS | NETWORK BLOCK | Indexed Relative Sequential | BLOCK COUNT | Disk Magtape Unit Record | COUNT Process 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 System 16 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 8 Prolog Extend Quantity Process 0 0 System 0 0
The SHOW RMS_DEFAULT command in this example shows a system multiblock count of 16 and a network block count of 8. These are typical values.
Displays the name, class, and profile of a protected object.
SHOW SECURITY object-name
object-name
Specifies the name of an object whose security profile is to be displayed. If the object class is SECURITY_CLASS, you can specify an asterisk (*) as object-name to see a display of all security class objects. An object name of the FILE class (explicitly or implicitly specified) can include the asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters. However, wildcard characters are not allowed in any class other than FILE or SECURITY_CLASS.
The SHOW SECURITY command displays the name, class, and profile of a protected object. A profile includes an access control list (ACL), the protection code, and the owner of a protected object. For SECURITY_CLASS objects, SHOW SECURITY displays all the template profiles, which are the basis for profiles of new objects.The /CLASS qualifier identifies the class object-name is a member of. If the class is DEVICE and the object is a disk device on which a volume is mounted as a Files-11 (rather than foreign) volume, then both the device and the volume profiles are displayed.
All qualifiers other than /CLASS apply only to files.
For a description of protected objects, see the OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
/BACKUP
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier. The /BACKUP qualifier selects files according to the dates of their most recent backups (rather than by the creation, expiration, or modification date). By default, SHOW SECURITY selects files according to their creation date./BEFORE[=time]
Selects only those files dated prior to the specified time. You can specify time as absolute time, as a combination of absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords: BOOT, LOGIN, TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. Specify the /CREATED or the /MODIFIED qualifier to indicate the time attribute to be used as the basis for selection. The /CREATED qualifier is the default.For complete information on specifying time values, see the OpenVMS User's Manual or the topic SPECIFY Date_Time in online help.
/BY_OWNER[=uic]
Selects files whose owner's UIC matches the UIC specified with uic. The default UIC is that of the current process.Specify the UIC by using the standard format described in the OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
/CLASS=class
Specifies the class of the object whose profile is to be displayed. By default, the command assumes the object class is FILE. Object class keywords are as follows:
- CAPABILITY
- COMMON_EVENT_CLUSTER
- DEVICE
- FILE
- GROUP_GLOBAL_SECTION
- LOGICAL_NAME_TABLE
- QUEUE
- RESOURCE_DOMAIN
- SECURITY_CLASS
- SYSTEM_GLOBAL_SECTION
- VOLUME
/CREATED
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier. The /CREATED qualifier selects files according to the date they were created (rather than by the backup, expiration, or modification date). By default, SHOW SECURITY selects files according to their creation date./EXCLUDE=(filespec[,...])
Excludes the specified files from the SHOW SECURITY operation. You can include a directory, but not a device, in the file specification. You cannot use relative version numbers to exclude a specific version./EXPIRED
Modifies the time specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier. The /EXPIRED qualifier selects files according to their expiration dates rather than by the backup, creation, or modification date. (The expiration date is set with the SET FILE/EXPIRATION_DATE command.) By default, files are selected according to their creation date./MODIFIED
Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier. The /MODIFIED qualifier selects files according to the dates on which they were last modified, rather than by the backup, creation, or expiration date. By default, files are selected according to their creation date./SINCE[=time]
Selects only those files dated after the specified time. You can specify time as absolute time, as a combination of absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords: BOOT, LOGIN, TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.
