Hi Evan
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.
Just to echo what others have said: this isn't necessarily the best way to
get to the content, since UniVerse dictionaries typically accumulate lots of
crap, including once-only synonyms, lots of calculated and translation
fields etc.
There are two routines: LIST.FIELDS is the main routine, which just calls
one subroutine called stdTCL.
Good luck.
PS: one thing to beware of. It is possible (and I don't condone it, it's a
really stupid idea) to have a calculated field call a subroutine that
actually does something like an update. So do check for these sorts of
things before running it..

Subject: [U2] UniVerse RetreiVe how do I query a file for all of its
column's values?
This is a repost from a stackoverflow question I asked:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068026/universe-retreive-how-do-i-query-
a-file-for-all-of-its-columns-values
=== START REPOST ===
In UniVerse you can't query a file for all of its columns unless the @
phrase in your file's dictionary is set to all of the tables columns.
If it isn't how do you query a table for all of its column's values?
So I can get the total column listing (column name & display name)
using:
LIST DICT file NAME
This will return a listing of all columns and their display names. How do I
then query the table for all of the columns it has?
LIST file
Will only query it for LIST file @id (@id is the only thing in @).
....
=== END REPOST ===
I'd like to follow up with a request to see if anyone has a copy of a BASIC
program that does this, I imagine it is something every heavy universe must
keep in arms reach.
Thanks a ton,
