Hi Aaron
The only attribute I can think of that will help is a file attribute
(FILETYPE = *DATA or *SRC) I'm not sure how consistent that is never having
had to rely on it.
It's available in the QDBRTVFD API in format FILD0100 if I'm reading the
documentation correctly.
I used that API once; have fun.... :)

Subject: QUSLOBJ - how to differentiate source PF's from data PF's
I am writing a program to call QUSLOBJ and am wondering if there is a way to
tell source physical files from data physical files (i.e. QRPGLESRC vs.
CUSTMSTPF). When I call the API there is both the object type and
attribute, but these end up being the same for both types of objects. I
have looked through the variety of result formats and am not seeing anything
that would be a differentiator. Note that checking for "Q*" isn't an option
because there will be source physical files with names that start with
letters other than "Q".
QUSLOBJ API docs:

quslobj.htm
Any ideas?
