This will get me a list of table names in a database :

Code:
SELECT * FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLES                   
   WHERE DBNAME = 'H2591PAU'   


Is there a similar statement that will get me a list (vertical,
not horizontal) of column names in a particular table ?


Thanks...

Yes,

Below is what I've used in the past.
Code:

SELECT A.NAME, A.TBNAME,  B.tsname, A.COLNO, A.COLTYPE,               
       A.LENGTH, A.SCALE, A.NULLS, B.REMARKS, A.REMARKS     
   FROM SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS A                                 
   LEFT JOIN SYSIBM.SYSTABLES B     ON A.TBNAME    = B.NAME
WHERE A.NAME = 'RELATION_ID'
 
A different 'WHERE Condition'

 WHERE A.TBCREATOR   = 'FDBEL'   
  and A.TBNAME = 'RETIREE_SIT_TAX_REFUND'   
 ORDER BY A.TBNAME, A.COLNO;
