The   Display  Data   Base  Field   command   displays  the   attribute
information for  a field in a physical file  or a single format logical
file.    The  attributes include  such  things as  the  length, decimal
positions, buffer position  in the record,  text, and column  headings.

A typical command would be:

             DSPDBFFLD  FILE(FILEA) FIELD(ABC)

The attribute  information for field  ABC in FILEA would  be displayed.
