Global-Inspector

If you are investigating complex structured Globals this can become
a rather boring typing exercise. Different from Global Explorer in
System Management Portal Global-Inspector allows a kind of drill-down
to dig deeper and deeper by subscript levels.
You also have the option to see the stored content or to show only
the subscript structures.
Globals storing SQL Tables are probably not so thrilling, but in SYSTEM
space you find real trees with completely different branches and twigs.

Global-Inspector can run in browser or from terminal command line.

required input

• Global name: with or without leading caret
• Maximum number of subscripts you want to see
• Showing content of the displayed Global node
• Starting Subscript. Can be exact or before first node shown

Subscripts require exact quoting. E.g. “JOURNAL” not JOURNAL
