Now you see why you don't want to write one of these things!!

Look at about page 141 in the Query Management Programming book -
Figure 37. Encoded (Externalized) form field summary (Part 1 of 2)
This tells you what each of the numbers means - e.g., in a T record, 1110 means the rows and columns in the field list that follows - the R records. In this case you have 13 rows (fields) and 5 columns.
After the 005 are the descriptions of each of the columns in the fields table

1114 is usage - as in break level and the column width is 007
1115 is indent and is 006 characters wide
1117 is edit code (in RPG terms - heh)
1118 is order 3 wide
1113 is heading 62 wide

All the R records are then to be read according to the widths you see in the T record.

The V records are for break level settings and final text settings and general options and all like that.

See if you can get the product installed for the try / buy and see what you can do!!

About the numeric column editing.
I can see in figure 38 that this line in my query has something to do with it:
T 1110 013 005 1114 007 1115 006 1117 005 1118 003 1113 062

1117 is column edit; 5 I think might be from the 5th row in the table below:
But, how does that apply to an individual column?
