:SHOWPROC
The :SHOWPROC command is a fairly new MPE/iX command. In addition, the output
from :SHOWPROC is not columnar by nature. In particular, for the :SHOWPROC ;TREE
command, it would be very difficult to parse the output using column numbers. Given all
these reasons, we decided to change :SHOWPROC output to display PIN numbers in a
field wide enough for 5-digits followed by a space (separating the PIN number from the
next field on the output line). On Release 7.0, PIN numbers are left justified within the
5-digit field (they are left justified today in a 4-digit field).
The :SHOWPROC command can be used in (essentially) three different ways:
• show invoking process only (default);
• show all process in a given job (using the ;JOB= keyword)
• show all processes in a given tree (using the ;TREE option).
