Precisely Roy. On both accounts - the description of the need and that it isn't quite far enough.
Nevertheless an appreciated piece of input from yourself Craig and others.
Thank you to those who submitted ideas.
:-)
Jim.

These things are indeed true.
However, Jim's problem is the opposite; he has, I surmise, a series of
programs to be converted/reimplemented which use the CopyLib names, and
where the people doing the conversion need to know the underlying
database names.
So, to go back to the Image/CopyLib XREF that I described in my earlier
posting, such tools as DICTCDE would enable you to replace the 'Query'
column with a COBOL-like set of information, perhaps even with decimal
position information that Query does not possess, but Dict/3000 might,
if you had set it up accordingly.
But would go no further than that; which might not be far enough.
