How to get Data Source Explorer to display field name instead of alternative?

[bobc_00001]

Data source explorer shows what DSPFFD calls "Alternative" instead of the Field names (we all know and love, LOL), and I'd much rather type a 6 character field name than a 20 character one. It also uses the same value for column headings so all fields are a mile wide in results.

Does anyone know how to get it to use and display the normal field names?

I now have RDi and am learning it, but don't have Quantum installed with it. I haven't figured out how to get it to work with RDi. I also have Squirrel, but it has the same problem with fieldnames.

Any ideas?

PS: I got Quantum DB installed and running and it has the same problem, ie using the alternative field name

Instead of using the DSPFFD CL-Command try to access the SQL VIEW - SYSCOLUMNS located within the QSYS2 Schema.
