Use the MONITOR/RESUME command to reset average, maximum or minimum values.

### /X[=column]

### /X=previous-column (D)

Specifies the screen column where the item is displayed (the left-most column is 1). By default, items are displayed in the same column as defined by the previous DISPLAY command.

### /Y[=row]

### /Y=next-free-row (D)

Specifies the screen row where the item is displayed (top row is 1). By default, items are displayed on the next free row after the item defined by the previous DISPLAY command.

## Description

> The DISPLAY NUMERIC command displays the specified `expression` as a number in a monitor picture. It can be used within a monitor file or issued at the `RTR` prompt when interactively defining a monitor picture for use in a subsequent MONITOR command.

> Note that the introduction of the /SEPARATE, /TOTALIZE and /AVERAGE qualifiers has superseded the qualifiers /FACILITY, /LINK, /PARTITION, /NODE and /PROCESS. These superseded qualifiers are no longer described here, however they are still supported.

## Parameters

> ### expression

> Specifies the quantity to be displayed. `Expression` can be either the name of a single data item or an expression combining several items using simple arithmetic operations and constants. In the latter case, `EXPRESSION` must be in quotes.

## Qualifiers

> ### /AVERAGE=(keyword,...)

> ### /NOAVERAGE

> Specifies that the items being monitored relating to `keyword` are displayed as an average. This allows a number of items to be averaged in one qualifier.

> The `keyword` can be one of the following:

> Keyword | Meaning
> --- | ---
> NODE | Node data items
> LINK | Link data items
> FACILITY | Facility data items
> PROCESS | Process data items
> PARTITION | Partition data items
> FE_TRANSACTION | Frontend transaction data items
> TR_TRANSACTION | Router transaction data items
> BE_TRANSACTION | Backend transaction data items

> ### /BELL[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOBELL (D)

> Sends a bell character to the terminal if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /BLANK[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOBLANK (D)

> Specifies that the displayed value is replaced by blanks if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /BLINK[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOBLINK (D)

> Specifies that the displayed value blinks if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /BOLD[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOBOLD (D)

> Specifies that the item is displayed in high intensity if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /COLSPAN=n

> ### /COLSPAN=1 (D)

> Specifies the number of columns the item is to span in the HTML table where it is displayed. The default is one column.

> ### /DAMPING[=damping-factor]

> ### /NODAMPING (D)

> Specifies that the value displayed is to fluctuate more slowly than the raw measured value. The default for `damping-factor` is one. Damping is only relevant if `/VALUE=CURRENT` .

> ### /DECIMALS[=decimal-places]

> ### /DECIMALS=0 (D)

> Specifies the number of digits to appear after the decimal point when displaying a numeric. The default for `decimal-places` is zero, that is, numbers are displayed as integers.

> ### /DESCRIPTION="text-string"

> Provides a descriptive text for the item being displayed. Column headers are often cryptic as little room is available. The browser will display the descriptive text in a popup window (currently, Internet Explorer only).

> ### /DISPLAY

> Specifies that text formatting is to be suppressed if the /NOTEXT qualifier is chosen, so that HTML output is easier to read. Use the /NOHTML qualifier if you only want text as output. By default, items are displayed in both text and HTML views.

> ### /HEADER

> ### /NOHEADER (D)

> Indicates the item is part of a table header. This qualifier should be attached to the first item of a new row.

> ### /LABEL=text

> ### /NOLABEL (D)

> Specifies the text used to label the value being displayed. Symbols are substituted at display time. (See Section A.2, Substitution Symbols).

> ### /PARAGRAPH

> Causes a display item to be formatted as the first item of a new paragraph in the HTML output. This qualifier is effective only while in text mode, after the /NOTABLE qualifier has been used.

> ### /RATE[=interval]

> ### /NORATE (D)

> Specifies that the rate of change of the `expression` is to be displayed rather than the absolute value. When `/RATE` is used, `interval` specifies the time interval in seconds used to calculate the rate of change. This has no effect on the sampling; it simply allows the rate to be displayed in another unit. For example, displaying the start transaction counter with `/RATE=60` results in transactions per minute being displayed instead of per second.

> ### /REVERSE[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOREVERSE (D)

> Specifies that the item is displayed with the foreground and background visual attributes swapped if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /ROWS[=nr-rows]

> ### /ROWS=1 (D)

> Specifies how many rows are used to display the item. This is only meaningful if `/SEPARATE` is also specified. The default number of rows is one.

> ### /SELECT[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOSELECT (D)

> Displays the item if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /SEPARATE=(keyword,...)

> ### /NOSEPARATE

> Specifies that the items being monitored relating to `keyword` are separated from each other and displayed as a list. This allows a number of items to be separated in one qualifier.

> The `keyword` can be one of the following:

> Keyword | Meaning
> --- | ---
> NODE | Node data items
> LINK | Link data items
> FACILITY | Facility data items
> PROCESS | Process data items
> PARTITION | Partition data items
> FE_TRANSACTION | Frontend transaction data items
> TR_TRANSACTION | Router transaction data items
> BE_TRANSACTION | Backend transaction data items

> ### /TABLE

> ### /NOTABLE

> Indicates the start of a new table in the monitor output. This qualifier should be attached to the first item of a new row. Specifying /NOTABLE causes any current table to be closed and a new text section to be started in the HTML output.

> ### /TOTALIZE=(keyword,...)

> ### /NOTOTALIZE

> Specifies that the items being monitored relating to `keyword` are added together and displayed as a total.

> The `keyword` can be any of the following:

> Keyword | Meaning
> --- | ---
> NODE | Node data items
> LINK | Link data items
> FACILITY | Facility data items
> PROCESS | Process data items
> PARTITION | Partition data items
> FE_TRANSACTION | Frontend transaction data items
> TR_TRANSACTION | Router transaction data items
> BE_TRANSACTION | Backend transaction data items

> ### /UNDERLINE[=Boolean-expression]

> ### /NOUNDERLINE (D)

> Specifies that the displayed value is underlined if `Boolean-expression` evaluates to True (non-zero).

> ### /VALUE[=value-type]

> ### /VALUE=CURRENT (D)

> Specifies how the value is processed before being displayed. `Value-type` can be one of the following keywords:

> CURRENT | (default) Displays the current value of `expression`
> AVERAGE | Displays the average value of `expression` since the MONITOR command was issued
> MINIMUM | Displays the minimum value of `expression` since the MONITOR command was issued
> MAXIMUM | Displays the maximum value of `expression` since the MONITOR command was issued

> Use the MONITOR/RESUME command to reset average, maximum or minimum values.

> ### /WIDTH[=field-width]

> ### /WIDTH=1 (D)

> Specifies the width (in number of characters) to display a numeric. If more characters than `width` are required, the number will be shifted to the right. No data will be lost, but columns of numbers will no longer line up. If `/WIDTH=1` (the default) is specified, numbers are displayed left justified.

> ### /X[=column]

> ### /X=previous-column (D)

> Specifies the screen column where the item is displayed (the left-most column is 1). By default, items are displayed in the same column as defined by the previous DISPLAY command.

> ### /Y[=row]

> ### /Y=next-free-row (D)

> Specifies the screen row where the item is displayed (top row is 1). By default, items are displayed on the next free row after the item defined by the previous DISPLAY command.
