SHOW (FLD) primary command

In Browse, View, and Edit, the SHOW (FLD) command adds a hidden field to the data display. You can hide a field from display by using the HIDE editor primary command or by using the S prefix command in the template editor.

Note: The SHOW command has two usages; the other usage applies to records, and it is described in section SHOW (REC) primary command.

fieldref
A single field reference (for example, #1), a range (for example, #2-#5), or a list of single field references/ranges separated by spaces (for example, #1 #4 #6-#7). A single field specification is #n; n is a positive integer and cannot exceed the number of fields in the template being processed.
fldname
The name of a field in the template, which is optionally preceded by the pound symbol (#). Use #ALL, #NOT, #SUP, and #RESET to avoid any syntactical ambiguity with command keywords.
