When relate_# is specified as -1, INFO displays the item characteristics of all INFO system items.
The ITEMS command instructs INFO to display or print the item structure of your currently selected data file, one of your currently related data files, or the system items file.
If the named file includes protected items, INFO displays only those items that are unprotected at the password level you are using. INFO displays the unprotected items without the column number and makes no distinction between defined and redefined items. See the PROTECT and PASSWORD commands for more information about data file protection. If an alternate item name has been defined for an item, INFO displays the alternate name on the line following the corresponding item display.
The column headings for the short form of the ITEMS display are described below in Table ITEMS-1. See the
DEFINE command for detailed information about each item specification. INFO displays blanks or a hyphen (-) for specifications not defined for the item.
