Tony,

Are you able to open the structure with a later version of 4D? In v14 the 
EXPORT STRUCTURE command was introduced:
https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.2/EXPORT-STRUCTURE.301-4386049.en.html
which would get you the quickest representation of your structure, albeit in 
XML.

Otherwise it should only take a few minutes to crank out a custom method to 
produce an text output representation of your structure using the structure 
access commands:
https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.2/Structure-Access.201-4385958.en.html

Unfortunately I don't have such method to hand though.

Regards,

Subject: 4D 2003  export structure

    Hi 
    
    Does anyone have a method I can use to create a text file 
    With information of each table and info about each attubute 
    
    i.e.
    
    Table name = patients 
    Fields
        Surname Alpha 30
        Forename alpha 30
        DOB = Date
    
        Etc etc 
    
    This DB was using 4D 2003 in its days 
    
    Many thanks
    
    Tony
