My employer wants me to create a Data Dictionary to document our database.  I 
used Display File Field Description (DSPFFD) to create an output file of the 
different fields in the different files in our database.  Now I can Query the 
DSPFFD output file for the information I need.  Except, that next to each 
field, as part of this document, my employer wants the name of the program 
using that file.

Field Name    Data File Name / Description        Program Name / Description    
                Type    Length ....
Last Name     EmpCode / Employee number file      ENTEMPLY / Assign employee 
number        A         35
                 EmpMast / Employee master file   EMPMAST / Enter employee 
information     A         35

Since the program name is not part of the information provided by DSPFFD, does 
anyone have any suggestions on an easy was to create another file to join to 
the original DSPFFD file?  This file should contain the program name and the 
output fields to join to the original DSPFFD file.
