RE: changing field descriptions

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jo Ann,

We had EZVIEW at my previous job.  It has a feature that stores the field
definitions in files in its library, rather than retrieving them from the file
description every time.  It performs slightly better with the feature turned on.
The main problem with it is that it doesn't always recognize when it needs to
refresh the retrieved descriptions for a particular file.  There's an option
somewhere to manually trigger a refresh - maybe in the Services menu (F13?).  I
wish I could remember better, but I always had to hunt for it when I needed it,
and now I haven't used the product in more than 6 months.

Dan;

I changed my dds source from COLHDG('FILLER 5') to COLHDG('EXPIRATION DATE'
'NEEDED'), prompted the CHGPF command, made sure my sourcefile and library where
in SRCFILE, made DLTDEPLF *NO.  It took awhile, said it changed, but when I
looked at if with EZVIEW I saw the same description, but when I did a QUERY over
that file I saw the new description.

So, THANK YOU 8-))).  I also did a dspffd and saw the new description, any idea
where EZVIEW gets it field descriptions?
