The text inside round parentheses "(" ")" on the left side of the "=" are the subscripts for the global.
  The text inside round  parentheses "(" ")" on the right of the "=" are field numbers.
  The text inside the square brackets "[" "]" are positional information and datatypes for that position.
  If you do a Global Map on the RPC subfile/mutiple of the OPTION File you would see the following information in the report : 
 Select DATA DICTIONARY UTILITY OPTION:
    LIST FILE ATTRIBUTES START WITH What File: OPTION//  File #19   (10398 entries)  
      GO TO What File: OPTION//  File #19   (10398 entries)      
 Select SUB-FILE: '''RPC'''  (subfile #19.05) 
 Select LISTING FORMAT: STANDARD// '''GLOBAL''' MAP
 ^DIC(19,D0,"RPC",D1,0)=  (#.01) RPC [1P:8994] ^ (#1) RPCKEY [2F] ^
  
 ^DIC(19,D0,"RPC",D1,1)=  (#2) RULES [E1,245K] ^
  
 [1P] means 1  == piece #1 on the node P  == Pointer Data Type:8994 == pointer to File 8994, which is the REMOTE PROCEDURE FILE
 
 [2F] means 2  == piece #2 on the node F  == Free Text Data Type
 
 [E1,245K]] means Extract positions 1 through 245 (inclusive) on the node K == MUMPS Data Type

If you do a Global Map on the MENU subfile/mutiple of the OPTION File you would see the following information in the report :

Select DATA DICTIONARY UTILITY OPTION:    LIST FILE ATTRIBUTES

 START WITH What File: OPTION//  File #19   (10398 entries)

      GO TO What File: OPTION//  File #19   (10398 entries)

      Select SUB-FILE: MENU  (subfile #19.01)

Select LISTING FORMAT: STANDARD// GLOBAL MAP

 ^DIC(19,D0,10,D1,0)=  (#.01) ITEM [1P:19] ^ (#2) SYNONYM [2F] ^

                  ==>(#3) DISPLAY ORDER [3N] ^
