Using the FLD parameter

The FLD parameter indicates to FM/Db2 that the string following the FLD keyword is the name or part of the name of the column you want to locate. You use the FLD parameter to resolve any ambiguity that might exist between column names and other command parameters.

You must specify the FLD parameter before the string, if the search string is NEXT, PREV, FIRST, LAST, FLD, starts with #, or is a number.

For example, to locate a column name containing the # symbol such as #ITEMS, use the following command:
L FLD #ITEMS
The command L #ITEMS results in an error as FM/Db2 is expecting the # symbol to be followed by a numeric Db2® column number.
