  • Subject: QUSLFLD API question
  • From: Paul Jackson <paulgjackson@xxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 16:28:15 -0700 (PDT)

Does anyone know if there is an API that I can use to
retrieve the "allocated length" of a variable length
field in a database file?

It seems the QUSLFLD API only tells you that the field
is variable length, it doesn't tell you anything else
about the field.  It seems the DSPFFD command outfile
facility tells you this, but I am trying to modify a
program that is already using the API.

Any help suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
