What evidence do you have that TPX actually needs to "read" members of the VTAMLST partitioned data set? Are you obliged to provide the major node names, that is, the actual member names? If not TPX - or any other program - would be "all at sea" when faced with the requirement to read the members - or I guess such a program could "read" the directory and make guesses based on the names it found ... Alternatively, a program like TPX could have "programmed operator access" and discover the member names that way. However I wonder what information, additional to what is can be derived from the messages in reply to a DISPLAY command, might be needed. > I can say that ... a few other things might need READ access.

While I'm here, I can't resist mentioning that I would tend to look for a "sysproc" in a partitioned data set rather than sitting in a chair in front of a screen editing one!
