Bill,
Welcome to the U2 family!
Let me make sure I understand what you're trying to do. Are you
trying to read a "virtual column" worth of data out of a file in one
shot, a la SQL? Or are you wanting to get a hold of the actual
I-descriptor itself?
Maybe if you flesh out what you're trying to do, with some
examples, it would help us help you!

Subject: [U2] Using an I descriptor in a UniBasic program
Hello all. Being new to UniData, I hope that maybe someone can help me.
How do you read an I descriptor in a UniBasic program? The IBM manual
gives me a hint (looking at the CALCULATE command), but the example
given uses a select on the entire file. I am looking for a way to read
the actual data and the I descriptor within a loop without using a
select. I'm familiar with opening, reading, updating, etc. the data
portion of a file, but not the dictionary.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks
