RE: How to tell *FILE object is PF-DTA or PF-SRC

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

The easiest way is to use the Retrieve Member Description API QUSRMBRD.
The first format MBRD0100 returns '0' for data and '1' for source files in
position 134 of the data structure returned by the API.

I need to be able to determine if a physical file is a data or source
physical file in RPG IV.  I thought the QUSROBJD API could be used for
this, but I don't see how.  The attribute returned is always "PF"
regardless.  Any ideas?
