I have written a quick little app to list the fields in a physical
file, using the QUSCRTUS, QUSPTRUS, QUSLRCD and QUSLFLD APIs.  The
fields are placed in a subfile, and listed for the user.  It's
basically like DSPFFD, without all the extra 'stuff' that I don't
usually need to see at a glance.  Neato.

I would like to also indicate which fields are key fields, and what
order these key fields are in.  I can't see which API would help me
with this detail.  I don't see any option on the QUSLFLD API to show
this, nor on the QUSLRCD API.

Also, I don't see a way of knowing how many fields are returned from
the QUSLFLD API.  I currently have a DS based on a POINTER to the user
space, and I increment the pointer after each field retrieval to the
subfile.  I test the first character of the field name for containing
an alpha character, and if it does not, I assume I have reached the
end of the loop.  Kind of messy, but it works.  Is there a better way?

TIA
