Windows API: Get Clarion Fieldname from a control FEQ
2003-05-05 -- Mark Goldberg

Charles,
I modified Skip Williams Debuger class which wraps
OutputDebugString. The enhanced class has methods to show the NAME
of a field based on it's FEQ. It relies on an undocumented RTL
call. I've been meaning to write it up for CMAG.
Try using this:
GetFieldName(signed FEQ),*cstring,raw,name('Cla$FIELDNAME')
BTW, If you open an .EXE (built with CW) in a resource editor, you
will find 'DABDump' resources which appear to hold window/report
structures complete with the Names of the fields in them.
