Hi,

in this check file it works and i can see it.
Is this Information stored as well in some System table where i can query it??
Because i Need this Information in form of table for exporting.

Thanks many,
Nel

No Idea about this

But, you can see the Master file in synonym editor.

You can retrieve Master metadata using the SYSCOLUMN table, unfortunately, it appears this is static - JOINs are not considered:

JOIN CLEAR *
JOIN STORE_CODE IN GGORDER TO ALL STORE_CODE IN GGSTORES AS J1
-RUN

?FF GGORDER
-RUN

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT
NAME
WHERE TBNAME EQ 'GGORDER'
END
-RUN

Hi

Try the following:

JOIN CLEAR *
JOIN STORE_CODE IN GGORDER TO ALL STORE_CODE IN GGSTORES AS J1
-RUN
CHECK FILE GGORDER HOLD AS ABC

TABLE FILE ABC
PRINT *
END
