I did not find it in QADBXREF unless I overlooked it.
Guess I'll do the hard way for now. I'm out of time.

Subject: Re: Retrieving record format via SQL
This might be worth an RFE request - I think the info might be in a table
called QADBXREF, but we don't generally have authority to it - the
SQL* and SYS* tables are often views, actually, over those QADB* files.
Trouble is, SQL-the-standard- knows nothing about formats, nor about members
and RRNs and the like that are part of the implementation on IBM i - SQL
language really doesn't care about low-level implementation, so long as some
layer in between converts the physical part into relational structures and
operations.
Whew! Time to go back to bed after that!
Cheers

I can do DSPFD to *OUTFILE and select from it but I'd rather do it the
easy way, assuming it exists somewhere in a table already.
