There are a couple of ways but they require privileged mode:
 
1.      getprivmode;   <<root file's file code is -400>>
        fnumber := fopen (DBname,1,,,,,,,,,,,-400);
        if fnumber <> 0 then
          begin
            fgetinfo (fnumber,MPE'file'name);
            fclose (fnumber,0,0);
          end;
        getusermode;
 
NOTE! There is the danger that someone could issue a file equation:
        :file XYZDB;DEL
      and the above code would purge the root file.
 
 
2.  If you only have ONE database in your process then you could cycle
through the list of open files ( 3 >fnum>max'fnum) again in priv mode until
you encounter a file with -400 as the file code.
