I'd like to 'say' item names and their stats when i query the dbase. Here is the alias im using:

#al {find} {#FORALL %find("%-1") {%dbget(%i)," ");say &Item - &Stats}}

I have three fields in the dbase: Item, Stats and Date.

so if I type:
find glimmering

It should 'say': Item name - Stats. Here is my output:

(Num789arItema suit of glimmering chainmailStatsAC18 +2+1 noburn Anti-Mage-Cleric Anti-EvilDate20020805, )

then:

You say 'a purple silk shawl - AC4 5hps 9cha'

a purple shawl is the first record in my dbase and is 'said' no matter what item I query.

Any ideas how to get the output to be the correct items stats instead of the first item in my dbase all the time? :)

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have the correct idea, but you are using some stuff from other zMUD commands. What you want is this:
#ALIAS find {#FORALL %find("%-1") {say %db(%dbget(%i), "Item") - %db(%dbget(%i), "Stats")}}
