D
Displays all or part of the primary input buffer or the current parameter of the active input buffer.
Syntax
D{n}{+}
Syntax elements
n specifies the number of the parameter to be displayed.
If n equals 0 (zero), all parameters in the primary input buffer are displayed.
+ inhibits a RETURN/LINE FEED at the end of the D command.
Operation
The most frequently used version of the D command is the D0 form, which displays the entire primary input buffer. Other forms of Dn display parameters of the primary input buffer one at a time.
When the D command is used alone, the current parameter of the active input buffer is displayed. The current parameter is the one pointed to by the buffer pointer in the active input buffer.
The pointer does not change position with the D command.
