SHOWTA outputs the current setting for the type attributes and the administration privilege and the initial values for member protection. Passwords are not displayed. However, the user is informed if a password is allocated. It also outputs the applicable (version) convention, the supertype, the base type, the permissible storage mode for members of the type, and the attribute defining the borrowing mechanism.
LD defines the library, TD the member type. TI returns the result.
