[Info-vax] SHOW LOGICAL

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

If SHOW LOGICAL has an exact match, it displays it and nothing else.  If 
it has no match, it says so.  However, if the argument to SHOW LOGICAL 
contains a wildcard, then all the corresponding tables (e.g. those in 
LNM$FILE_DEV or all if /TABLE=* was specified) are shown, even if they 
have no match.  An ugly workaround is

   $ PIPE SHOW LOGICAL FOO/TABLE=* | SEARCH SYS$PIPE FOO

though this might not include all the information one wants.

Why can't show logical display only the tables with a match?
