How to Get PRTF Details ??

[K.Forsythe]

The source file has all the information you are looking for, why can't you read that?

The information can be gathered from the source but the limitation or requirement to my application is that i have to work on PRTF object. If any one had any idea in this regard then plz help me out. Thanks

QDBRTVFD - You can find information on this in the book "iSeries & AS/400 APIs at Work". I have not used it, and I don't know if it has the level of detail you need, but it has more detail than anything else I have heard of. Other than that, the closest thing is to run DSPFFD and send the output to an *OUTFILE. It will tell you what indicators are used in the format, and and how many indicators are on each field, but not which indicators or what they do. That's the best I can do for you, good luck!

Hello, I have a PRTF Object and I need to get its complete information. I opt for DSPFFD command; the problem is that this command did not tell me that which Indicator is used against which field. And also if the same indicator is repeated then also the command did not produce the information. I am attaching a PRTF source just compile it and opt for DSPFFD command u will come to know what i am explaning. Can some one tell me how to get that information. And remember that i had to work on Object not on Source Member. Thanks

You have to use DSPFD FILE(lib/myprtf) OUTPUT(*PRINT), NOT DSPFFD !
