In the following CL procedure, a RTVMBRD command retrieves the description of a
specific member. Assume a database file called MFILE exists in the current library
(MYLIB) and contains 3 members (AMEMBER, BMEMBER, and CMEMBER).

DCL &MBR TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

DCL &MTYPE TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5)

The following information is returned to the procedure:
v The current library name (MYLIB) is placed into the CL variable name &LIB
v The system that MYFILE was found on is placed into the CL variable name
&SYS (*LCL means the file was found on the local system, and *RMT means the
file was found on a remote system.)
v The member name (BMEMBER), since BMEMBER is the member immediately
after AMEMBER in a name ordered member list (*NEXT), is placed into the CL
variable named &MBR
v The file attribute of MYFILE is placed into the CL variable named &MTYPE
(*DATA means the member is a data member, and *SRC means the file is a
source member.)
