But file 1 (the FILE file) doesn't store a list of fields, so it is
of no use in getting a list of fields. Now, if the DD itself were
really a file, then you'd be in business.

I think the issue is that you want to use a Fileman API on the file
of files. File 1 is the file of files. I do not think that
Fileman will care if the individual files have data in them. If
the fields have been defined for the individual files that is what
the API's can retrieve for you. When you are looking at file 1
then the individual file numbers are the IEN's of the individual
records of the file of files. You can also use Fileman API's on
the data dictionary which has been called File 0. However, you
cannot 0 (zero) as the file number. You have to use the actual
global root. I hope this makes sense.
