Here is an unlikely reason for the missing Dicts (I am assuming they are missing): Whoever created the fields did not want people to easily access them. For example, un-encrypted passwords.
I seriously doubt this is the situation, but I thought I would just throw it out. My vote is still simply missing Dicts.

How do you know? What are you doing that you can see the data that you can't find? I'm with the other posters that believe that you're simply missing dictionary items (the UniData dictionary is DEescriptive *NOT* PREsriptive like Oracle). However, if they are in multi-value columns there are a couple of things that could be giving you grief: 1. The dicts are not properly associated or marked as multi-value 2. You're looking at the file through SQL and the multi-value data is setup in a subtable/view. Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Dattatraya Walgude The following command is not showing all data columns. LIST filename ALL The LISTDICT filename - Not showing all column names Now, from one of the filename, I have to extract data from hidden 3 columns which I can not see the names of column. Requesting you to suggest me in such cases how to extract/see data. I will be thankful to you, if you provide me all steps in details. This is urgent matter & my work is stuck. Thanks in advance.
