File: _fldtype.p

Description:
    Takes a database-table-field and returns the data-type for it.    
    
    This is a wrapper routing to _fldtyp1.p that actually does the work.  This
    file just makes sure that if a dbname is specified, that DICTDB points to
    it.  

Input Parameter:   
   p_db-tbl-fld - name as triple: "db.tbl.fld" (We do handle the case of
                  "tbl.fld" by assuming DICTDB as the db.)

Output Parameter:
   p_fld_type      - The field data type

NOTE:  How to hook to a V6 Database.
   1) Start a V6 Server.
        a) rdl 6
        b) proserve db-name -H host-name -S demosv
          (eg. proserve ~stern/v6 -H kodiak -S demosv)    
   2) Connect to this in your V7 Session
        connect ~stern/v6 -H kodiak -S demosv
