DSPFFD with its "Display Spooled File" UI is not very convenient for
quickly scanning the fields and types on a file. And obviously it doesn't
show the database keys.

Most places I've worked use 3rd Party utilities like Synon YWRKF or some
in-house solution.

The place I'm working now uses WRKDBF but that doesn't seem to have been
maintained in a bunch of years and it falls over with an overflow error on
some files which contain CLOBs.

I just had a quick look at Peter Colpaert's WRKFLD which is downloadable
from http://www.think400.dk/downloads.htm but I'm not sure that's quite
what I'm after.

I don't want an editor or anything fancy, but something to show fields,
types, keys and text would be nice.
I know I could write something using the DB APIs or some of the QSYS2
tables like SYSCOLUMNS but at the moment I don't really have the time or
inclination.

I wondered what most other people are using for this kind of thing?

regards,
Craig
