RE: File field names

[Peter Connell <peterc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Everything you ever wanted to know about a file and more is retained for SQL
purposes in a set of files in library QSYS2. The field names etc are in
QSYS2/SYSCOLUMNS.

Cheers, Peter

Subject: File field names


I seem to remember someone, sometime posting some REXX code that would 
extract the field names from an externally described file. I did not save
the 
message and now I need to be able to get the field names out of a file.  Did

anyone keep it or does anyone know how?  TIA, Lance
