Getting Column Descriptions in Code

Hi,

When defining a table we do.
1 First Name 20 uplow
2 Last Name 20 Uplow
3 Address     40 Uplow

In code we reference the fields above by its field number.  What I want to
do is get the column/field number's description in code.  Like aa=field1's
description, therefore for row 1 above aa would equal "First Name" and NOT
the stored user data of "John Smith".  Instead I need the column's
description/name.  This is column specific and NOT row specific.

Any ideas?

I'm using fp 5.0.14

Thanks, Stanley
