DISPLAY STRUCTURE

        [TO PRINTER | TO FILE <file>]
        [NOCONSOLE]

-----------------------------------
Displays structure of database.
-----------------------------------

Each field is listed along with its type (character, numeric, date,
logical or memo) and its width.  If a field is numeric, the number of
decimal places in the field is shown.

The current number of records in the database and the date it was last
updated is displayed.  If the database has an associated memo field, the
memo field block size is shown.  The total width of all fields is also
displayed.

The database can have a structural index that is opened with the
database.  If a tag in the structural index has the same name as a field
in the database and is indexed on that field, the order of the tag
(ascending or descending) is displayed next to the field.

If SET FIELDS has been previously issued, the greater than symbol
appears beside those fields that are available for access.
