Because many of the record properties are hidden in the Bit Map field USEEDIT, it is hard to search for properties.  If you are on Oracle, here’s some SQL that might help…

This SQL lists all of the fields with their properties broken out of that field:

SELECT FIELDNAME,
       USEEDIT,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 1)         KEY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 2)         DUP_KEY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 4)         SYS_MAINT,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 8)         AUDIT_ADD,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 16)        ALT_SEARCH_KEY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 32)        LIST_BOX_ITEM,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 64)        ASCENDING_KEY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 128)       AUDIT_CHANGE,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 256)       REQUIRED,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 512)       XLAT,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 1024)      AUDIT_DEL,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 2048)      SEARCH_KEY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 4096)      EDIT_REASONABLE_DATE,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 8192)      EDIT_YES_NO,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 16384)     EDIT_PROMPT_TABLE,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 32768)     AUTO_UPDATE,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 65536)     BIT65536,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 131072)    BIT131072,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 262144)    FROM_SEARCH,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 524288)    TO_SEARCH,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 1048576)   EDIT_BINARY,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 2097152)   DISABLE_ADV_SEARCH,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 4194304)   REGULAR_FIELD,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 8388608)   DEFAULT_SEARCH_FIELD,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 16777216)  BIT16777216,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 33554432)  SEARCH_EDIT_KEYS,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 67108864)  BIT67108864,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 134217728) BIT134217728,
       Bitand(USEEDIT, 268435456) BIT268435456
FROM   PSRECFIELDALL
WHERE  RECNAME = 'JOB';

I was looking for an “Internal/External” field.  I wanted a field already built that had two translate values: “E” and “I”.  This SQL did the trick:

SELECT A.FIELDNAME,
A.XLATLONGNAME,
B.XLATLONGNAME,
A.XLATSHORTNAME,
B.XLATSHORTNAME
FROM   PSXLATITEM A,
PSXLATITEM B
WHERE  A.FIELDNAME = B.FIELDNAME
AND A.FIELDVALUE = 'E'
AND B.FIELDVALUE = 'I'
AND Upper(A.XLATLONGNAME) LIKE 'EXT%'
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'X'
FROM   PSXLATITEM C
WHERE  A.FIELDNAME = C.FIELDNAME
AND C.FIELDVALUE NOT IN ( 'E', 'I' )) 

I found the INTERNAL_EXTERNAL field, which works just perfect for me.
