202 doc is correct: returns a D, M, or A, even for jumbo datasets.

I'd be quite surprised to find MPEX calling DBINFO ... I'd hope it was more
efficient than that (e.g., FOPEN the root file and extract the data directly).

I'd report the bug to [log in to unmask]  If that address bounces, let me know
