Data Dictionary Structure

Former Member

Hi

I was wondering if anyone would have a function call that would pull back the data dictionary structure for tables like TVARV. I tried VIEW_GET_DDIC_INFO but I recieve and error saying that no TVDIR entry exsits. Is there anything else that might work? If not is there a table that I could use to pull a select for all the table field information?

Thanks

John
