Subject: How to Navigate On Database Fields?
Hi Friends;
Can you please how I can inquire and know the database columns and field names (together with their real names/synonyms ) in AS/400 ISeries?
Through AS/400 Operations Navigator? or through any other supplemental tools?
*For example*:
*GLPN.....G/L Period Number*
*GLLT......Ledger Type*
*GLDCT........Document Type*
*GLDOC........Document Number*
Maybe it's one of the minor issues for most of you (IBM experts), however a major question for such non-technical persons like me :)
Many thanks in advance...
Best Regards,
Ozgur
