| nStatementHandle | The workarea in which the gateway data source is open |
| cTableName | The table from which the column information should be returned |
| "NATIVE" | Used to specify the format for the column information. "FOXPRO" is the default. "NATIVE" uses the data source format. The cursor column information is shown in the table below. "NATIVE" many include additional columns. |
