Alter type error in version 28

[Art Kendall]

The documentation says there should be default output.

ALTER TYPE varlist([input format = ] {output format }) [varlist...]
. . .
[/PRINT {[ALTEREDTYPES**] [ALTEREDVALUES]}]
{NONE }
** Default if subcommand omitted.

But the command
ALTER TYPE ALL (A=AMIN) /PRINT.

gets this error
Warnings
Subcommand PRINT is empty.
Execution of this command stops.

The workaround is
ALTER TYPE ALL (A=AMIN) /PRINT ALTEREDTYPES ALTEREDVALUES.

Hi Art.  How does your workaround solution differ from this?  

ALTER TYPE ALL (A=AMIN).

It also works, and I see no obvious difference in the output.

You are right.

This arose when I was trying to work with a file of a million tweets. I did not get the mini-example right.

"Display a list of variables for which the formats were changed and the old and new formats. "
I was trying to work out a way to see what AMIN resulted in so that
 I would see
Name A45 A5
instead of
Name A45 AMIN
