I forgot to mention D3. I straddle many MV platforms and this one happens to be D3. AFAIK, it uses only the 10 line dict items and doesn't support the magic of line 002.
Thus I'm left with A types, F types or data/basic 008 CALL dict items. I didn't want to bother with a separate subroutine just for this process. Sorry for the confusion.
