I found there there is no way of obtaining that information from the data row. As you mentioned, we have to go through the datatable route. Given the fact that we are doing a SQLExec command, which returns one record, and make us of loRow to get the field, it is somewhat difficult to create a datatable to collect that information.

When I did was to use my data dictionnary to get the field definitions I need as I obtained more flexibility using that route.

Thanks
