CHECK FILE CAR HOLD
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT FORMAT BY FIELDNAME
END

You can store this info into another file that you can join to the original to include the formats either in a file or report.

You can also use SYSCOLUM

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT NAME
      COLTYPE
      LENGTH
      SCALE
      NULLS
      ACTUAL
      USAGE
WHERE TBNAME EQ 'CAR'
END
