First I could not even attempt the coding in "C", but reading the 
manuals I searched the following page for "hidden":

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_53/apis/qdfrtvfd.htm



Field Header Section (QDFFFINF)

Offset 	Bit 	Type 	Variable Name 	
Dec 	Hex
2 	2 	CHAR(1)	WDFFFIOA 	

Field attribute. X'01'  indicates Constant (see structure QDFFFCON, 
Constant Field Header Table (QDFFFCON)), X'02' indicates Output (O), 
X'03' indicates Message (M), X'04' indicates Input (I), X'05' indicates 
Both (B), X'06' indicates Hidden (H), and X'07' indicates Program to 
System (P).


Maybe that would help you find the type of field.
