Could you be more specific in explaining what you are trying to see?

Are you attempting to see the layout of a temporary hold file? If you are and are working at the FOCUS command prompt you type in your code:
>> TABLE FILE CNTLACCT
> PRINT DTE_ACCT_PER DTE_POSTING
> ON TABLE HOLD AS HTEST1 FORMAT ALPHA
> END

Then TED the HOLDMAST:
> >TED HOLDMAST(HTEST1)

Which will give you this:

$==================================================================$
$ HOLD file created on 2006/05/04 at 15.43.50 by FOCUS 7.1.1 $
$ Database records retrieved= 1 $
$ Records in the HOLD file = 1 $
$==================================================================$
FILE=HTEST1 ,SUFFIX=FIX
SEGNAME=HTEST1 ,SEGTYPE=S0
FIELDNAME =DTE_ACCT_PER ,E01 ,MY ,A04 ,
MISSING=ON, $
FIELDNAME =DTE_POSTING ,E02 ,MDY ,A06 ,
MISSING=ON, $
* * * END OF FILE * * *

Is this what you are trying to do? If not please describe what you are looking for.

I am not working on FOCUS Command Promt.

But what you have sent me is the exactly correct.
Can I get this in Mainframe FOCUS?

What I am getting now is the Result stored in the Hold file not the structure of that.

Please advice.....

Thanks
Shri

Here is a way to list the file info:

TABLE FILE MYFILE
?FF or ? FF
THE REST OF THE FEX
END

Then look at SYSOUT.

or
