The DBS (Database Stack Entries) command provides listings of all active database stacks.
Syntax
<wild card>
<delim>
Use one of the following characters:
/ \ I ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * '
The first delimiter must be the same as the second delimiter.
<wild-card string>
A string of characters used to search for a task name. The string can include the following special characters.
|
Character |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Equal sign (=) |
Matches any sequence of characters |
|
Question mark (?) |
Matches any single character |
|
Tilde (~) |
Matches any sequence of characters except a slash (/) |
The wild-card string is automatically uppercased, except for characters enclosed in quotation marks, and the system stops processing the string when it encounters a space character.
You can include lowercase characters and space characters by prefixing the wild-card string with LIT and enclosing the wild-card string in delimiters.
For example, if you enter the following syntax, the system returns entries that contain the string "PACK":
DBS NAME =pack=
If you enter the following syntax, the system returns entries that contain the string "pack":
DBS NAME LIT ^=pack=^

DBS NAME <wild-card string>

An asterisk (*) appears before a database stack display if this active stack is being displayed for the first time.
Example
Each entry in the following display consists of, from left to right, the mix number, the priority of the database, the number of users of the database stack, and the database name:
DBS
