Maybe something like this (if I understand your question):

FOR EACH _file

WHERE file.file-name EQ ""

NO-LOCK:

DISPLAY

_file.

END.

You may want additional Data Dictionary info so...

FOR EACH _file

WHERE file.file-name EQ ""

NO-LOCK,

EACH _field

OF _file

NO-LOCK,

EACH _index

OF _file

WHERE index.active

NO-LOCK,

EACH _index-field

OF _index

NO-LOCK:

DISPLAY

file.file-name

field.field-name

etc...

If this is something like you're asking for, I can email you a sample program...

try this query from the progress editor

select _desc from _file where _file-name = Srinivas K.
