if you have other database experience you should feel at home on the i.
Have you ever heard of something called SYSCOLUMNS on SQL Server and
others? We have that.
On 5250 you can use STRSQL, in iNav you can try "Run SQL Scripts" located
in Database to try:
SELECT
/* Big DB2 type names */
COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_OWNER,
/* System names */
SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAME, SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME, SYSTEM_TABLE_SCHEMA
where ...
FROM syscolumns;

Or, if you have lots of time and disk to spare you try DSPFFD to an output
file and query that to get the stuff that you can already get from the
above query.
