You are correct that the ANSI GKS Functional Specification does describe
INTERPRET ITEM with 3 parameters (page 143).  However, one of those 
parameters is a data record.

In the ANSI GKS Fortran binding (X3.124.1) on page 60, the Fortran
binding for INTERPRET ITEM is given.  The bound version does in fact
have 4 parameters:
	
	INTEGER	TYPE	Item type
	INTEGER	IDRL	Item data record length
	INTEGER	LDR	Dimension of data record array
	CHARACTER*80 DATAREC(LDR)
