QADBIFLD versus DSPFFD OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)

[John Yeung <gallium.arsenide@xxxxxxxxx>]

In another thread, someone mentioned getting field information from
QADBIFLD.  I wish I'd known about this years ago.  Now that I do know
about it, it seems like creating an output file from DSPFFD is a slow
and clumsy way to go about getting essentially the same information.

Are there any advantages to using DSPFFD?  Right now, I can think of
two:  (1) arguably friendlier for interactive use; and (2) provides
buffer lengths instead of internal lengths (which makes a difference
for date, time, and timestamp fields).
