DISPLAY FILE 

Displays information from specific MPE/KSAM files.

Syntax 

{DISPLAY FILE} [filename]
{DF          }
Parameters 

file_name        The name of the MPE/KSAM file from which you want to
                 display information.  This can be a file defined in the
                 current or global system.  If this parameter is omitted,
                 information is displayed for all files defined in the
                 current system.

Discussion 

This command offers a way to obtain information about a particular file
in the system.  Information can be displayed for files defined in the
current or global system.  This coincides with the Transact/iX philosophy
pertaining to file scoping.  A file in a system can be accessed only if
it is defined in the current or global system.
