Don't forget that set numbers  > 99 begin with "A0, A1,...".   :-)

Also, DBINFO(406) will provide the fully-qualified database name.  This can
be parsed and the corresponding set number inserted....  This will handle
the case that the base name is file-equated to another name, group and/or
account
so using the base name used in DBOPEN may be inaccurate..
