List File Attributes

List File Attributes Introduction

The structures of VA FileMan files are stored in the data dictionary (DD). There, you can find the specifications of every field in every file. Frequently, you need to know the information in the DD (usually field names and descriptions) to successfully access and use the data in VA FileMan's files.

The Data Dictionary Utilities submenu contains the following utilities that show information about files:

• List File Attributes
  
  
• Map Pointer Relations
  
  
• Check/Fix DD Structure
  
  
• 22.2Find Pointers into a File
