Hash File Metadata

I have a question that I am sure the DataStage gurus can answer, but I was not able to find in prior posts -

Where does DataStage keep the metadata for the creation parameters for a hash file? For example, I want to be able to look up the type, modulo and separation for a hash file - how can this be done (without opening the job in Designer - that would be too easy).

Thanks,
Stan

At TCL either ANALYZE.FILE if it is a DYNAMIC file or HASH.HELP. In a routine after you open the file then use STATUS FilePointer.
