Is there anyway to print the infostructure of a table in pdx7?

: Is there anyway to print the infostructure of a table in pdx7?  

Yes.  From the Info Structure or Restructure dialog box, click on
"save as;" this does not save the actual table, but saves the
structure information to a table name that you specify.

In PW 1.0 and 4.5, the default name was :PRIV:STRUCT.DB, so I
still use that name for compatability purposes.  I've created my
own report based on :PRIV:STRUCT.DB, to get all the information
I'm interested in to print concisely on one page.

Also a hold-over from previous versions:  a table named
:PRIV:STRUCT.DB will be automatically deleted at the end of a
work session, much the same as :PRIV:ANSWER.DB, :PRIV:CHANGED.DB,
etc., even though it's no longer automatically created as it was
in versions 1.0 and 4.5.

This is also the way to do it in version 5; in earlier versions,
:PRIV:STRUCT.DB is automatically created whenever you do a
restructure or info structure.

I use a handy script that uses the emunfieldstruct and enumindexstruct
methods to generate struct.db and index.db tables, then print out a report
using these tables, to show the field structure information as well as
secondary index info on one report.
here is a code sample to show the enumfieldstruct and enumindexstruct
methods

         tbl.enumfieldstruct("STRUCT.db")
         tbl.enumINDEXstruct("INDEX.db")

Drop me an email if you would like the actual script, I don't mind sharing
it.
