Have you checked whether you get the information you are looking for in the
SYSCOLUMNS View
Independent on whether you get the information or not, you should use the
SYSCOLUMNS View (or other SYS* Views and SQL Services - which are for
everybody) and not the QADBIFLD (or other QADB* files).

Subject: QADBIFLD
I have a question about what I am not finding in QADBIFLD.
I have a PF on a system. I'm going to call it MYLIB/MYFILE.
If I do a DSPFFD on MYLIB/MYFILE I see the one field that is in the file.
If I do a select * from QADBIFLD where dbilib = 'MYLIB' and dbifil =
'MYFILE', I get an empty result set.
There are a small handful of files that are not showing up but most of the
other libraries and files show up as expected.
I don't see anything odd about this file. Is there something I am
misunderstanding about the contents of QADBIFLD? I thought it contained
every field in every file / table / index on the system.
The machine is running V7.3 but I know it is way behind on PTFs.
