In PostScript, if I only know a procedure's name, can I find out the content of that procedure?

For example, if there is a procedure defined by

/abc {1 2 add} def

somewhere before, how can I get a output like

{1 2 add}

from the precedure's name "abc"?

I have tried "cvs" operator, but that only output the procedure name "abc".
