I am trying to retrieve column information for a file using SQL. The file

PTF or something or what is different between V6.1 and V7.1?
==> Here is the DDS
R RTEST
FIELD1 10 TEXT('FIELD1')

SELECT SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME, SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAME, COLUMN_TEXT FROM SYSCOLUMNS
WHERE SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME = 'TESTPF'

SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAME COLUMN_TEXT
TESTPF FIELD1 ã ñ á < à

SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAME COLUMN_TEXT
TESTPF FIELD1 FIELD1
