SHOW displays information about specific symbols, or classes of symbols. It can also be used to display the internal limits on data in TSP.
SHOW (DATE, DOC) [ <list of symbols>, SMPL, FREQ, ALL, EQUATION, LIST, MATRIX, MODEL, PROC, SCALAR, SERIES ] ;
Usage
SHOW may be used at any time during the interactive session to obtain information about symbols, and how they have been stored. Symbol names and class names may be freely mixed as arguments to the SHOW command. The classes are: EQUATION, LIST, MATRIX, MODEL, PROC, SCALAR, and SERIES. Providing a class name will list all symbols belonging to that class. SMPL and FREQ will display the current setting of each, and ALL will display all symbols, most recent entries first. Unique abbreviations of class names are allowed.
SHOW LIST ; ? provides a list of all <listnames>
? provide information about all members of the particular list:
SHOW listname ;
SHOW PROC ;
or
SHOW procname ;
are useful if you want to call one of the procedures you have defined, but do not remember the number or order of the arguments to pass it.
SHOW by itself lists the internal array dimensions in TSP. This is helpful if you have a very large problem.
SHOW SERIES stores a list of all the series under @RNMS.
|
class |
information provided by SHOW |
|
EQUATION |
name, type (formula or identity), number of arguments and operations |
|
LIST |
name, # of members |
|
MATRIX |
name, dimensions, type |
|
MODEL |
name |
|
PROC |
name, formal arguments |
|
SCALAR |
name, type, value |
|
SERIES |
name, #obs, beg date-end date, frequency |
DATE/NODATE prints the last date modified on a separate line (if the variable has documentation created with the DOC command).
DOC/NODOC prints any documentation on a separate line. When DOC is off, a portion of the documentation which fits on the end of the current line is printed.
Assume the following TSP commands have been given:
SMPL 1,10;
TREND T; T2=T*T;
OLSQ T2 C T;
SHOW would then produce the following results:
SHOW SERIES ;
Class Name Description
------- ------- ---------------
SERIES @RES 10 obs. from 1-10, no frequency
@FIT 10 obs. from 1-10, no frequency
T2 10 obs. from 1-10, no frequency
T 10 obs. from 1-10, no frequency
SHOW MATRIX ;
Class Name Description
------- -------- ---------------
MATRIX @VCOV 2x2 symmetric
@SES 2x1 general
@COEF 2x1 general
@SMPL vector, length 2
