The program does not touch the dict, it does a direct read against every row
in the table and summarises what literal columns are in use. The dict of a file
may miss some columns and introduce new virtual columns.
I am a bit lost as to what it is that you are after - either way you probably

This might be of some help .. It's a quick hacky utility I wrote to list all
fields in a file for a given set of record ids.
You can customize it to your own use.

Hi Evan,
It is not often you would do something like this as it is generally not
required in the U2 World. We may be able to provide you with better
solutions if we understood what you are trying to achieve by listing
every column?
Unidata/UniVerse files are a lot more complex than SQL Tables in
So, the choices are to edit the @ item in the dict add all of the columns,
or write a basic program that reads Rec, then outputs Rec1, Rec2, etc. A
third solution would be to copy the F1 dictionary item to F2, F3, F4, etc.,
change the attribute (column) field to match, then list 'em all, maybe in
