Re: QADBIFLD Question

Do you have access to SYSCOLUMNS?  It's in QSYS2 but that should be in 
your library list.  It's a logical built over the physical.  There are 
ways to lock a person out of the physical but let them access it via the 
logical.

If you are able to see the structure, then that should be all you need. 
You aren't trying to open it with a utility that needs update access are 
you?  I think that is your problem.
