DISPLAY
Displays information about an entity established with the CREATE, ADD,
and/or RELATE commands.
Syntax
[option] DISPLAY subcommand
D
Use the DISPLAY command to display the attributes of an entity and, if
applicable, the direct relationships and the direct associations of that
entity.
A direct relationship is the relationship between the displayed entity
and its parent entity. A direct association is the association between
the displayed entity and the entity that owns it (the entity with which
the displayed entity is associated).
The subcommand identifies the entity to be displayed. If ELEMENT, FILE,
or PROCEDURE is used as the subcommand, then the attribute, relationship,
and association information for that entity is displayed. If CATEGORY,
CLASS, or GROUP is used as the subcommand, the attribute and relationship
information for that entity is displayed. If LOCATION is used as the
subcommand, only the attribute information for that entity is displayed.
A complete list of entities that can be displayed is given below under
Subcommands. Selection Criteria can also be used to select the entity or
entities to be displayed. Refer to Using Selection Criteria in Section
III for more information.
To display the attribute information and, if applicable, the direct
relationships and direct associations for all the entities for a
subcommand, enter an exclamation mark (!) or press [[RETURN]] in
response to the prompt. (Only 1 prompt is issued for each subcommand
used.) Note that the exclamation mark and [[RETURN]] are used
differently for the DISPLAY command than for most commands. The PRINT
option can be used with the command string to print more descriptive
information on the line printer in addition to the information normally
displayed on the terminal. This information includes the information
that was entered when the relationship or association was made.

CATEGORY displays attribute information for a category

CLASS displays attribute information for a user
security class plus the directly related
