Qualifiers

/DISK[=device-name[:]]

Specifies the disk whose quotas are to be examined. By default, the current default disk (defined by the logical name SYS$DISK) is examined.

Examples

$ SHOW QUOTA
User [360,010] has 2780 blocks used, 7220 available,
of 10000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 500 blocks on DISK$
      

The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the amount of disk space authorized, used, and still available on the current default disk for the present user. The permitted overdraft in this example is 500 blocks.

$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,007]/DISK=XXX1:
%SYSTEM-F-NODISKQUOTA, no disk quota entry for this UIC
      

The SHOW QUOTA command in this example displays the fact that the user with user identification code (UIC) [360,007] has no disk quota allocation on device XXX1.

$ SHOW QUOTA /USER=[360,111]
User [360,111] has 27305 blocks used, 2305 OVERDRAWN,
of 25000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 4000 blocks on DISK$
      

The SHOW QUOTA command in this example illustrates a user with an overdrawn quota.
