To display the value of a symbol, use the SHOW SYMBOL command.

SHOW SYMBOL will display the value of the symbol and indicate whether the symbol as displayed is local or global. Local symbol values are displayed with a single equal sign (“=“). Global symbol values are displayed with the double equal (“==“).

Note that integer symbols are displayed in three radices: Decimal, Hexadecimal and Octal.
