It has been a while since I looked at the spec, but I don't recall the 5250 data stream having record names, field names, or data types. Perhaps Scott Klement or James Rich or someone who worked on the tn5250 project could shed more light on that.

The 5520 data stream contains no information about the source display file, record format, or field names. There is data type information in the field definitions via the SF order. You can get the current display file information via the QWSRTVOI API. From that you can derive which fields on screen belong to which record format.
