I want to write to code to look at hrhistory to find out if the employee FTE changed. I need to know the field number from the data dictionary, where would I find the data dictionary?

For others who may be looking for field numbers, these are found in table PADICT. You need to know the Topic value and the Item Name - in our case there are three "FTE" records - one each for E1- Employee (56), RO - PAREQOFFER (813), and SH - PRRATEHIST (989)

Just as a suggestion, it's a good idea to look up the field number in PADICT in your code or query rather than hard-code a FLD-NBR value, just in case the field number changes between environments or with upgrades. This is less of a problem with delivered fields than with custom fields, but it's a good practice to use when you can.

When I need this info, I check it in PADICT2. Just a little easier to ready when you dump it out. I've also have a quick 4GL report for PADICT2, that lists this info. Keep it handy in my files...
