There are two people in Oakland dealing with problems like this. One person likes to use standard tools like the one you mention and use a "screen scraping" approach to parse the output and put it into database form. I've taken the approach of writing code to extract the data directly. Since this was done (in my case) as part of an analysis effort, the code didn't need to be released, and so SAC compliance wasn't really as much of an issue.

Personally, I'd like to see an API in Fileman for everything that you can do through an option, but originally, no one really thought this would be necessary.

Kevin, I believe you are looking for the List File Attributes option, which is under FileMan options and Data Dictionary options within that. If you instead want something across files, I believe there is something in the IHS version. Maybe someone else could speak to that.
