RE: Retrieving the DDS field description in an RPG program

Mike,
Once you've seen all the stuff you have to code to get the field
descriptions, you might consider using the CrtFldList() procedures in the
RPG xTools library. Or if you don't have or can't get the xTools, use the
SQL Catalog which contains most of the information you need.

Hi Mike

You can see an example of QUSLFLD getting those values here:
