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?

You could always run the DSPFFD command to an outfile and query the results.
