Get to a green screen, and type DSPFFD libraryname/filename and press enter.
If you press F4 before hitting enter, there's an option to print the field
descriptions.

You will get not only the descriptions but the attributes, especially the
CCSID for each field. As I recall, JDE files have managed to mix CCSID's at
the field level, based on who added the fields to the file definitions.

Strange brew.

Subject: How to Navigate On Database Fields?

Hi Friends;

Can you please how I can inquire and know the database columns and field
names (together with their real names/synonyms ) in AS/400 ISeries?

Through AS/400 Operations Navigator? or through any other supplemental
tools?

*For example*:

*GLPN.....G/L Period Number*
*GLLT......Ledger Type*
*GLDCT........Document Type*
*GLDOC........Document Number*

Maybe it's one of the minor issues for most of you (IBM experts), however a
major question for such non-technical persons like me :)

Many thanks in advance...
Best Regards,
Ozgur
