The %GD utility displays existing globals in the current global directory without displaying their values or descendants.

%GD prompts for a global name and redisplays the name if that global exists.

%GD allows the wildcard characters asterisk (*) and percent sign (%). The wildcards carry their DCL meanings with one exception. %GD interprets a percent sign (%) in the first position of a global name literally.

A colon (:) between two globals specifies a range. %GD displays existing globals within that range.

After each selection %GD reports the number of globals selected by the input.

A question mark (?) entered at a prompt displays help information. Pressing <RETURN> exits %GD.
