I'm trying to figure out the column names in a table...
I'm use to SQL and saying something like DESCRIBE TableName;
What is the sybase equivalent?

For ASE,

execute sp_help TableName


or for a more raw view of the data, just the column names

select name from syscolumns where id = object_id("TableName")

Thank you very much.
name is one column but are there others that might help me determine the structure of the table?
