Geert , An alternative might be to look at the system catalog files like syscolumns. If you do this, be sure to look at the existing access paths. You may also need to use SQL to copy some information from the native to SQL definitions. David Morris >>> dawall@us.ibm.com 11/08/01 09:50AM >>> Sorry, the RLA classes don't retrieve that data. Have you tried JDBC or using a system API to dump the data to a file which you can read with RLA?

I'm using the SequentialFile, RecordFormat, FielDescription and AS400DataType classes to retrieve all the information needed about database fields of a given file. Unfortunately the getText() method of FieldDescription does not return the TEXT value defined in the DDS on the system. The database fields are all defined using reference fields. I'm not using the open version of the toolbox. Could this make any difference? Is there another way to retrieve this info using java?
