Re: DSPFFD utility

Yes, there are several worlds people live in when developing for IBM i.
Personally, my startup script starts ACS, RDi, and dBeaver. they are all
running, and using any of those is very easy. In fact, I find myself rarely
going to a green screen as I can do almost everything I need in dBeaver and
RDi. Including looking at table columns. Unfortunately the SQL catalog does
not include key fields defined in a PF or LF, so to look at that, I have to
use DSPFD. Even ACS doesn't show it. But, now that I look at things again
in dBeaver, I can indeed find keys defined in a physical file or logical
file. And it is faster than ACS.

Rob,

Forgive me if I'm misinterpeting your response(s) but if your question is
why <would you use these kinds of utilities because you would have to start
a 5250 session in order to do that>...

then you live in a very different world to me.
