$ help show symbol /all
SHOW

  SYMBOL

    /ALL

       Displays the current values of all symbols in the specified
       symbol table (/LOCAL or /GLOBAL). If you specify the /ALL
       qualifier and do not specify either the /LOCAL or the /GLOBAL
       qualifier, the SHOW SYMBOL command displays the contents of the
       local symbol table for the current command level.
     
In other words /LOCAL is the default. Try:

$ show symbol /all /local
$ show symbol /all /global

to get both types of symbol.
