Thank you Zoltan.
As usual, you at least try to be helpful.
I was beginning to think nobody would reply.
Changing the field description in RDA or FDA is no problem.
But our need here is to populate a table with Retailer information,
and then "hang" the table in an area where our external retailers can access
the data.
Using a utility, which we call "UltraComm", the retailer can query the data
with their own selection criteria.
The field descriptions in the table are not always desirable.
ie) PA8 = "Address Number - Parent" in the data dictionary.
PA8 = "Retailer Number" would be more desirable.
So, as you can see, we need to create the file with our own field text.
Adding fields to the data dictionary is easy.
It's the Data Dictionary Replication that is the pain.
The "old" WorldSoftware, using AS/400 with DDS, made this a simple matter.
It is unbelievable that JDE would omit such a simple function in OW.
Thank you again Zoltan.
