Why not simply access the SYSCOLUMNS catalog view?

Brad,
Close but I think the QDBRTVFD api would eliminate the print scrape step and
would be much quicker?

My LSTFFD sounds like it's halfway or more there. I made it open source a
while back. Sounds like a possible start.

I've always wanted a single source SFL display utility for a file that
could show file name, library, format name, number of fields, record
format ID, record length, file type, access path (keyed, arrival),
field names, from/to length, decimal, type, text, related data
bases(LF, indexes,etc), and a position to field when subfile is
displayed showing all the fields.

I've looked at API QDBRTVFD, QDBLDBR to do most of the heavy lifting
instead of using the printing and scraping that most everyone else
seems to be happy with. Unless this exists somewhere else I'd think
this might be worthy.
As I close in on my retirement, I'd probably love this kind of

challenge.

An FFD on steroids, if you will.

First, I am retired. Not looking for a job, a contract or anything of
that nature.

Second, I am bored, enjoy RPG, subfiles, and the iSeries. As some of
you know, I have a web site where I show solutions to common problems.
Not particularly grand or overwhelming but it does keep me out of the
bingo halls and senior centers.

Which leads to the point of this request...

Any suggestions for problems to display, projects to develop, or
whatever? Complicated, but not too complicated, more than a quicky
but not a long drawn out thing, with some challenge but not
life-threatening. In other words. a Goldilocks project.

Thanks for any ideas that come along. :)
