Remarks
DISPLAY MEMORY displays the name, type, contents, scope, and status of all currently defined variables and variable arrays. It includes the number of variables defined, the number of bytes used, and the number of additional variables available. DISPLAY MEMORY also displays information about system variables, menus, menu bars, menu titles, and windows.

The number of bytes used represents memory used by character type variables. Character type variables are the only type of variables that require additional memory beyond that allocated by the variable count specified with the MVCOUNT configuration item.
