PM DSPFFD *OUTFILE Curiosity

**** Novice Question Alert ****
I am trying to get a file description into a library so that I can query
off it for a file conversion project I am attempting (note: more
questions to follow on that subject). When I perform a DSPFFD on the
file for display on the screen the command works as advertised. When,
however, I use the *OUTFILE option my file contains the contents of the
file instead of the file description.
Obviously I have erred. Below is the command I'm using. Any insight is
welcome.
QSYS/DSPFFD FILE(ATDBASE/CNTLP) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(CNTLPPRT)
Thanks
