The information shown is retrieved from the DB parameter settings (or corresponding NTDB macro)
described in the Parameter Reference documentation:
| DBID | The database ID |
| DB Type | The type of database: see Possible Database Types |
| Default DB type | The default database type |
| DB Options | One or more options defined for the database: see Possible Database Options |
You can page up or down in the SHOWDBS window (depending on how many pages exist) and exit with the following PF keys:
| PF3 | Cancel and close window |
| PF6 | First page |
| PF7 | Previous page |
| PF8 | Next page |
| PF9 | Last page |
| PF12 | Cancel and close window |
The application programming interface USR8211N in the SYSEXT
system library provides the same information as the SHOWDBS
system command.
