Command Display Message
?SHOW Lists the various items that can be displayed with the
?SHOW command.
?SHOW OPEN Lists the open record descriptions. If none have been
opened, nothing is displayed. An OPEN statement
does not actually open a physical file, but accesses
the record description in the dictionary.
?SHOW LINK Lists links that are in effect. If no record descriptions
have been linked, nothing is displayed. A LINK
statement does not actually link physical files, but
accesses their record descriptions from the internal
table.
