Hi Brenda,

What do you mean by table definition? In the download section here there is a nice and simple utility by John Koziol called LS. You can use adir and call this utility for each table. I believe I wrote something similar by myself (not using this utility), but I have to make a search, because I forgot the name and the purpose of the program... I'll check tomorrow at work, if I would not forget.
