<After ken after Brian>
Hi Brain,
    I have a Cobol subroutine that can be compiled into an XL(or other) that
will return all the known field and record structures, including offsets,
for up to ten Image databases simultaneously. If you'd like a copy please
email me.

The offset is not available from DBINFO mode 102.  The only way I know to
get
it is add up the lengths of the previous data items (from 104).

Remember to multiply all the lengths returned from DBINFO by 2 and by the
sub-item count.
