[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Is there a way to get static buffer field's name by static reference?

DEF BUFFER Customer_B1 FOR Customer.

DEF VAR cTableName AS CHAR NO-UNDO.

cTableName = BUFFER Customer_B1:HANDLE:TABLE.

Is there a similar way to get buffer field handle and it's field name using static reference?
