This appendix is supplied to help you determine which DISPLAY command to use to locate a specific piece of information. The list of DISPLAY command output is not exhaustive, but it does contain the most widely used output.
The DISPLAY commands are listed across the top of the table with the information in the output examples located down the left side of the table. To determine which DISPLAY command displays a given piece of information, locate the information about the left side and read across to find a large dot. A dot indicates that the command provides the requested piece of information. More than one dot indicates that more than one DISPLAY command displays the requested piece of information.
An example of the usage for this table would be if you want to display an access method control block name (ACB name). First you would locate "ACB name" on the left side of the table. Next, read across the table and identify the columns where there are dots. In this case, this information can be displayed by three different DISPLAY commands: APPLS, ID, and PENDING. See the specific DISPLAY command in VTAM operator commands, for details on how to display a particular piece of information using a command.
