exact field size of numeric fields in DBF files

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a BDE API function, or any another solution, wich gives me
the following information :

In a DBF file, there's a numeric field : MYFIELD Numeric(15,2). I want to
know the detail of this information (15 digits and 2 decimals). The TField
Size property always give 0. I'm sure there's an API function wich allows to
read specific informations on Fields, but I don't find it.

Please, help !
