The text inside round parentheses "(" ")" on the left side of the "=" are the subscripts for the global.
The text inside round parentheses "(" ")" on the right of the "=" are field numbers.
The text inside the square brackets "[" "]" are positional information and datatypes for that position. If you do a Global Map on the RPC subfile/mutiple of the OPTION File you would see the following information in the report : Select DATA DICTIONARY UTILITY OPTION:
LIST FILE ATTRIBUTES START WITH What File: OPTION// File #19 (10398 entries) GO TO What File: OPTION// File #19 (10398 entries)
Select SUB-FILE:
RPC (subfile #19.05)
Select LISTING FORMAT: STANDARD// GLOBAL MAP ^DIC(19,D0,"RPC",D1,0)= (#.01) RPC [1P:8994] ^ (#1) RPCKEY [2F] ^ ^DIC(19,D0,"RPC",D1,1)= (#2) RULES [E1,245K] ^
[1P] means 1 == piece #1 on the node P == Pointer Data Type:8994 == pointer to File 8994, which is the REMOTE PROCEDURE FILE
[2F] means 2 == piece #2 on the node F == Free Text Data Type
[E1,245K]] means Extract positions 1 through 245 (inclusive) on the node K == MUMPS Data Type
If you do a Global Map on the MENU subfile/mutiple of the OPTION File you would see the following information in the report : Select DATA DICTIONARY UTILITY OPTION: LIST FILE ATTRIBUTES
START WITH What File: OPTION// File #19 (10398 entries) GO TO What File: OPTION// File #19 (10398 entries) Select SUB-FILE: 10 MENU (subfile #19.01)
Select LISTING FORMAT: STANDARD// GLOBAL MAP ^DIC(19,D0,10,D1,0)= (#.01) ITEM [1P:19] ^ (#2) SYNONYM [2F] ^
==>(#3) DISPLAY ORDER [3N] ^
