what is difference between DSPFD and DSPFFD?please give me real senario with good example?..

Answer / swadesh.yadav

Suppose i have a file 'ABC' and i want to know that how
many fields,how many records,when it was created,when was
last used,its access path ,trigger,journal,total member
these file have- with DSPFD command we can findout easily.

Suppose anyone want to know about there field in detail(i.e
name of the field also)we use DSPFFD b'cos DSPFD is not
diplay it field name.

In brief,DSPFFD is not able to findout-Trigger
name,Journal, Access path,Key field but DSPFD can find it.
