Should be in the Open Feedback portion of the INFDS.

See this bit from the manual.

DCL-F MYFILE PRINTER(132) INFDS(OPNFBK);

DCL-DS OPNFBK;
ODP_TYPE CHAR(2) POS(81); // ODP Type
FILE_NAME CHAR(10) POS(83); // File name
LIBRARY CHAR(10) POS(93); // Library name

I have a File Description spec that declares a disk file. The filename doesn't actually exist and is always overridden to an actual PF. Is there a way to determine what PF is actually open? I tried the INFDS keyword, but the *FILE value just shows the phony name from the spec.

TIA
