SHOWIN
Reports the status of input device files. (CM)
SYNTAX
[#Innn ]
SHOWIN [STATUS ]
[SP ]
[item[;item[;...]] ]
PARAMETERS
#Innn Identifier of particular input device file for which
you want information. The numeric portion of the
identifier is equivalent to the LDEV number. For
example, LDEV 20 will have an input device file
identifier of #I20. The default is that MPE/iX
displays information for all input device files
used by the logon job or session.
STATUS Summarizes the status information for all current
input device files. Default is that MPE/iX displays
information for all input device files used by the
logon job or session. The information appears in
following format:
8 FILES DISPLAYED
0 ACTIVE
0 READY;INCLUDING 0 SPOOFLES, 0 DEFERRED
8 OPENED; INCLUDING 0 SPOOFLES
0 SPOOFLES; 0 SECTORS
0 LOCKED; INCLUDING 0 SPOOFLES
SP Displays the status information for the currently
spooled input device files associated with the logon
job or session. Default is a display of status
information for all input device files.
item Displays the status of current input device files as
identified. Default is that MPE/iX displays status
information for all input device files used by this
job. The syntax appears on the next page. FOR ITEM

PARAMETERS FOR ITEM
ldev Displays the status of input device files identified
by logical device number ldev.
JOB= Displays the status of input device files. JOB= may
be one of the following options
@J Displays the status of input device files
for all jobs.
@S Displays the status of input device files
for all sessions.
@ Displays the status us device files for all
jobs and sessions.
[ #]Jnnn Displays the status of all input device
files for a specified job.
[ #]Snnn Displays the status of all input device
files for a specified session.
Default is @.
ACTIVE, OPENED, Displays the status of all input files in a
or READY specified state. ACTIVE displays the status of
active device files. OPENED displays the status of
opened device files. READY displays the status of
ready device files.
OPERATION
This command displays the status information about one or
more currently defined input device files. This information
reflects the status at the time the command is entered, and
always appears on the standard list device. Except for the
keyword STATUS, which has its own format (refer to
"PARAMETERS"), the format of the information is
DEV/CL DFID JOBNUM FNAME STATE FRM SPACE RANK PRI #C
10 #I10 #J133 $STDIN OPENED
The information displayed in this format is defined as follows
COLUMN MEANING
DEV/CL Logical device number of device.
DFID Device file identification in the form #Innn. The
number displayed in DFID is identical to the LDEV
number.
JOBNUM Job or session number (jsnum) of job/session using
the device file, if not used for READY or ACTIVE
data. Otherwise, the job/session name appears on the
line following standard device information.
FNAME File name associated with the device file.
STATE One of the following
ACTIVE Input being read from a spooled device to a
disk
READY Input spooling completed;
file is now ready for use by a program.
OPENED A file is being accessed by a program.
FRM Forms message indicator. The letter F will appear
only if a forms alignment message applies to the
device file. Does not apply to input files.
SPACE Approximate disk space currently used (in sectors),
for jobs only.
RANK The order in which the file is entered into the
system with respect to other files of the same
priority and class name or logical device.
A D following RANK indicates a deferred file for
spooled device files only. A file can be deferred
if its priority is less than or equal to the system
outfence or the outfence of a specific device.
PRI The outpriority of the device file, requested by the
user or adjusted by the system operator. Specified
for spooled output device files only.
#C The number of copies needed, specified for spooled
output device files only.
This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or
from a program. Pressing [Break] aborts the execution of
this command.
EXAMPLE(S)
The following is an example of how to determine the status
of an individual input device file
SHOWIN #I80
DEV/CL DFID JOBNUM FNAME STATE FRM SPACE RANK PRI #C
43 #I43 #S37 $STDIN OPENED 8
If you do not know the device file identification number
(DFID) of the device file whose status you want to
determine, you may request the status display by entering
either the logical device number or the device class name of
the device on which the file originated
SHOWIN DEV=43
DEV/CL DFID JOBNUM FNAME STATE FRM SPACE RANK PRI #C
43 #I43 #S37 $STDIN OPENED
You may also request displays of device file information
using various combinations of qualifications (devices,
jobs/sessions, and states). For example, to display
information about all OPENED input device files used by all
sessions (but not jobs) in the system, enter
SHOWIN JOB=@S;OPENED
DEV/CL DFID JOBNUM FNAME STATE FRM SPACE RANK PRI #C
7 #I7 #S38 MASTER OPENED
26 #I26 #S18 $STDIN OPENED
32 #I32 #S41 $STDIN OPENED

42 #I42 #S28 $STDIN OPENED
