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

[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
