subject: RE: DSPFD to outfile has a Key Field Number field. QDBRTVFD
        api     have similar ?

Nope, keyfield info is only in the "new" QDBRTVFD API not QUSLFLD, and the
fields are returned in order.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've used DSPFD to an outfile in the past and it contains a field
indicating the order of the keys for a keyed file (Key Field Number).

I've setup the QDBRTVFD api to retrieve key field information,
using the FILD0300 Format.

I've perused thru the QDBRTVFD api (v5.2) and haven't been able to
figure where the order of the key fields comes into play/is returned.

I'm assuming one of 3 things...

a) I can't read what may be right under my nose

-OR-

b) the api returns the key fields in the proper key order.

-OR-

c) none of the above


If anyone can answer which of this (if any) is correct I would
certainly appreciate that.
(I don't care if it's answer a)  <g>

thanks for any help
