FFD_LIST Data Type ont strictly RPG IV #1

@bobcozzi

Description

@bobcozzi

The FFD_LIST table function returns the column's data type but always uses SQL Datatypes instead of RPG IV when it comes to Graphic and VarGraphic types.
This issue can be resolved by continuing to use SQL data types for the DATA_TYPE result column and enhancing the RPG_DEFN (RPG IV Definition) column so that it returns the RPG IV compatible data-type. So GRAPHIC(20) is shown as "GRAPHIC" for the data_type and "GRAPH(20)" for the RPG_DEFN result.
This is already being done with Packed and Zoned (Decimal and Numeric) data-types so enhancing GRAPHIC/VARGRAPHIC should be easy enough.
