    IBM believes that the solution for this Idea is available with the base release of IBM 7.5, with IBM i 7.4 SF99704 Level 13, and with IBM i 7.3 SF99703 Level 24

    Columns were added to the QSYS2.SYSCOLUMNS2 view to return this information.
    The columns REFERENCE_LIBRARY, REFERENCE_FILE, REFERENCE_FORMAT, and REFERENCE_FIELD contain the REFFLD information.
    Here is a link to the SQL Reference topic describing the view.
