Displays the file specification in the database root (.rdb) file for a storage area (.rda) or snapshot (.snp) file. You can also use this command to display the current setting of the inconsistent flag or corrupt flag for a storage file. If you specify the DISPLAY FILE command, but do not specify any parameters, RdbALTER will display the full file specification for the .rda or the .snp file of the storage area, the current setting of the inconsistent flag, and the current setting of the corrupt flag for .rda files.
