How to retrieve the field heading

Hi!

I beg you to give me a hand on the following issue.

I would like to know how could I read the field's heading (not the
field name) using standard SQL.

I created a new table and each field has its name, data type *and*
heading.

If I run a Select statement in native mode, every column has its
correct heading but if I run the Select statement from the iSeries
Acces for Windows, columns have the field's name instead of the
heading I wrote.

Which statement should I write to get the heading instead (or in
addition to) of the field name?
Any help will be very appreciated since we've lost some hours trying
to find it.

Sincerely,
Xavier

I've got an STL class (see below) with two functions to store and retrieve data - msg structs. The "Store" function when called will copy the received message (depending on which message) into the appropriate array. For instance if I receive a RCVD_MSG1, I'll copy into msg1 . Upon receipt of the next RCVD_MSG1. I'll copy into msg1 . The Retrieve function when called should retrieve the latest copy. ie. msg1 or msg1 .

Hi Folks, I have been given a CD with approx 130 .xls files (bean-counters!) that I would like to import and merge to ONE table (tblTradeshow). The XL files are *similarly*, but not identically structured, and the first row does NOT contain field names. Some (actually most) of the column names *are* the same in all of the spreadsheets.

I have a subform (that is linked to a table) in a blank form. When the table is viewed in its subform state in the form, the headings are not user friendly. ie. CustN I would want it to read in the subform heading column as Customer Name without affecting the actually field heading in the table itself..... if that makes sense. Any suggestions? thanks

Can anyone help me with the code to retrieve the name of the table that a control on a form (that's built off a query) refers to? For instance: qryMfrsAndBrands is based on the tables: tblBrands and tblMfrs formMfrsBrands is based on qryMfrsAndBrands fieldBrandName is on the form and comes from tblBrands via qryMfrsAndBrands.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
