The command you're looking for is RECALL /ALL. See this handy-dandy list of OpenVMS commands and their UNIX equivalents.

if you want to see the recall buffer of another process, `$ ana/sys set proc/id=xx` and now `exam ctl$ag_clidata;400` for older versions of OpenVMS, for recent versions, just `$ ana/sys` and then `clue process/recall` – user2915097 Oct 11 '16 at 08:29
