DSPRCDFMT does part of what you want. I'm not sure how much is in this version, but it may be a helpful 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. :)
