Re: Capture field name

What can be easier than calling an API?
...
I'm not ranting, I'm just curious -- can anyone give me an example of a
situation where the use of an API is entirely inappropriate, or too
difficult to use, or whatever?
<endsnip>

I use a lot of list API's.  However I feel that the field list is easier
served by the QADBIFLD file and it's logicals.  And since it takes over
1.5GB to store this file on my machine, and I have no choice, I will, by
God, try to get some use out of it!  Also, how do you know that the list
fields API doesn't just read this file?  :-)
