Re: AW: Retreive DDS for Display File

Others have mentioned DSPFFD - it doesn't return things specific to 
DSPFs - it might be useful for things like text descriptions, although 
maybe the QUSLFLD is a better way (use APIs, not commands)  - other 
information probably requires the use of the QDFRTVFD API - Retrieve 
Display File Description - it is not for the faint of heart, just 
because of the nested nature of the information, requiring extensive use 
of pointers and structures.

There was cited an article at mcpressonline with a DSPDSPF command - no 
source available at first look - I may have an old CD with source from 
them - the article is from 1999. I'll dig around and see what I can find 
sometime.
