But you can use the traditional Fileman calls on the DD. Do the silent
calls not work on the DD?

But file 1 (the FILE file) doesn't store a list of fields, so it is of no
use in getting a list of fields. Now, if the DD itself were really a
file, then you'd be in business.

I think the issue is that you want to use a Fileman API on the file of
files. File 1 is the file of files. I do not think that Fileman will
care if the individual files have data in them. If the fields have been
defined for the individual files that is what the API's can retrieve for
you. When you are looking at file 1 then the individual file numbers
are the IEN's of the individual records of the file of files. You can
also use Fileman API's on the data dictionary which has been called File
0. However, you cannot 0 (zero) as the file number. You have to use the
actual global root. I hope this makes sense.
