The  Display  Member   Description  command  displays  or   prints  the
information  about a  specific member  such as  the number  of records,
the  last  date change,  the number  of  increments used,  and physical
file member statistics.

Typical commands would be:

       DSPMBRD     FILE(*CL) MBR(PGM1)
       DSPMBRD     FILE(PAYROLL)

The advantage  of  the command  is  that it  is  the fastest  and  most
convenient method for determining such things as:

   - The number of records in the member
   - The last source change date
   - The member text description
   - The save date and time

Rollup may be used for more information including:

   - The number of increments used
   - Member statistics (these are reset on each IPL)
       Only valid for member statistics

If printing is requested, all information is printed.

Command parameters                                    *CMD

   FILE          The  qualified file  name.   The  library defaults  to
                 *LIBL.   The  special  values such  as *CL,  *RPG etc.
                 can be  used  instead  of  the  standard  source  file
                 names such as QCLSRC, QRPGSRC, etc.

   MBR           The  member name.   The  default is  *FIRST to  access
                 the  first   member  according  to  the  create  date.
                 *LAST may  be  specified  to access  the  last  member
                 according to the create date.

   OUTPUT        How  the  output  should be  displayed.    *  means  a
                 display    appears   if    the    command    is   used
                 interactively.    If the  command is  run in  batch or
                 *PRINT is specified, a spooled file is output.
