Re: Reading of field definitions in a datastructure with QUSLFLD

Jon

if you could do that you could reverse a XML-INTO datastructure and with a
little
fantasy coding get either XML or JSON out as the result ;-)

For my self it is a matter for how low I will go no RPG's NoSQL (RLA)
interface
and my own cross platform NoSQL DB that if if each row content of field
are
incapsulated in JSON or the data just should be stored as buffered strings
and then converted when needed.

The latter requires a description of the buffer that may vary from the
original
buffer or be nonexsistence if you run a SQL with a join without a
predefined
view.

Seems o me your options are:

1) As David said - define the DS external so that QUSLFLD can be used.

2) Scan the source

3) Use a copy of the DS in a PI and generate the PCML then use the
generated XML file (or the APIs) to access the definitions.

Of course - since you haven't told us _why_ you want to do this, trying
to make a sensible response is difficult. <grin>

Is that possible or is it only external defined fields?
