But nevertheless the information is there on the file. When you use the
command line sql client to select rows from a table it shows the correct
column headings from the file description. So ... I guess the question is
how do you get at that information via JTOpen if
AS400FileRecordDescription doesn't retrieve it. Is there a way to
retrieve the "entire record format" including column headings?
Thanks,
Phil

From the documentation:
Note: The AS400FileRecordDescription class does not retrieve the
entire record format of a file. Only enough information is retrieved
to describe the contents of the records that make up the file.
Information such as column headings, aliases, and reference fields is
not retrieved. Therefore, the record formats retrieved cannot
necessarily be used to create a file whose record format is identical
to the file from which the format was retrieved.

Simon Coulter.
