Just a reminder.  The System X-Ref files (QADBxxxxx) and SQL System Catalog
(SYSxxxx) pertain
to Database Files (PF and LF) only.  The DSPFFD command and QUSLFLD API
provide information on most file types, (including DSPF and PRTF)

On the other hand, DSPFFD/QUSLFLD provide 'passive' information which is
only accurate at the time it was produced.  The X-Ref and Catalog files
should always contain current information.
