SHOW
Shows all the relationships for an entity and the associations for child
entities.
Syntax
[option] SHOW subcommand
S
Use the SHOW command to display the hierarchical relationship for an
entity and the association information for child entities. Relationships
are established using the RELATE command and associations are established
using the ADD command.
The subcommand identifies the entity to be displayed. For example, the
subcommands LOCATION and CLASS show the association information for a
location and class. The subcommands CATEGORY, PROCEDURE, FILE, and GROUP
show the relationship and the association information for their
respective entities. The subcommand ELEMENT shows only the relationship
information for the element.
The relationship information is displayed as a tree structure from the
point of entry down. After the parent entity name is displayed, each
child is displayed in the order in which the child was related to the
parent. Data elements associated with each child can also be displayed
depending on your response to the prompt to do so. If you choose to
display the data elements, an asterisk (*) will appear next to an element
to indicate that it is a key or search element within that file. The
PRINT option can be used with the command string to redirect what is
shown by this command to the line printer. Description information will
be printed in addition to the information normally displayed on the
terminal. The description information is the information that was
entered when the relationship or association was made.
Subcommands
Any of the following subcommands can be used with the SHOW command:
CATEGORY shows all the relationships for a category plus
associated data elements where applicable
CLASS shows all the associations for a user security
class and all the related child classes plus
all associated groups.
ELEMENT shows all the relationships for a data element
FILE shows all the relationships and links for a
file plus associated data elements where
applicable
GROUP shows all the relationships for an HP Inform
group plus associated data elements where
applicable and access information for the group
LOCATION shows all the associations for a location
PROCEDURE shows all the relationships for a procedure
plus associated data elements where applicable
