Description and Synonym

The first two statements in this part extract the short description of the data-item (the description field of the data-item form) and prints it out. The template uses a database extraction function to assign a value to the variable di_sdesc for the data-item represented by di. The WRITE statement that follows inserts a blank line, then writes the description (di_sdesc) of the data-item.

Next, two statements extract the data-item’s synonym and prints it.
