How do I find the column listing in UniVerse with RetrieVe or SQL?

Question

I\'ve got an issue where a table (file) is set up to return column foo on LIST table and SELECT * FROM table. I need to know

Answer 1

Here are the basic varients:

LIST DICT foo NAME

SELECT @ID, NAME FROM DICT foo;

These will give you a physical location that corresponds to the LIST-ITEM verb:

SORT DICT foo WITH TYPE EQ "D" BY LOC LOC NAME

SORT DICT foo WITH TYPE EQ "D" BY LOC LOC NAME TOXML

Note that the "column name" or @ID is displayed by default during a LIST or SORT. TOXML can be useful, but there are a host of other XML features built in.
