DSPTAP outfile field templates

I'm using the outfile for DSPTAP DATA(*LABELS). There are 3 fields that contain the various labels, 1 for volume and 2 for file information. Does anyone know the exact templates for these fileds? I can reverse-engineer some of it from the spooled file output.

Reason for this is to avoid release dependency, as the layout of the outfile seems to be fairly consistent.

Here's what I have so far. One concern is that sequence numbers are reported out to ten digits in V5R2, and how are file sequence numbers > 9999 expressed? BTW, these'll probably wrap to an ugly form. - Supposed to be 80-character lines.
