SOMPATCH
Operation
work Shows all patches in the working buffer of an interactive session (that is,
the material to be saved by an EXIT command).
@ Provides information on all current patches to be displayed; that is,
multiple writes to the same
symbol + offset aren't shown. The last write
is the only one shown.
srs Shows all SRs fixed by patches.
multi Shows all multi-SOM patches.
backouts Shows all backed-out patches.
history Shows all modifications made to the symbol specified. It is useful for
checking the reworks of a patch.
long Specifies the long format display. The default is short format, which is
patch ID, user name, SR number, and time applied. The long format gives
this information, plus the old values, new values, and any other
information connected with the patch, such as the name of the source file,
the SR number connected with this patch, and the patch applier.
files Prints out names of all patch files applied and the time that they were
applied.
symbol+/-offset Refer to the MODIFY or DISPLAY commands for an explanation of this
parameter.
