Perhaps worse, it does not report members in UNIX files in directories
among the 16 supported catenands. So if I have member WOMBAT in
a zFS in a SYSLIB concatenation, it may show me a WOMBAT in a later
PDS(E) whereas HLASM will use the one in the zFS. Treacherous
indeed. I suspect that ISPF uses the antique technique of allocating
each catenand with DSORG=PS and parsing directory blocks.
Would DESERV do better?
I went to SR on this:
Record 55733,033,000
Created: 04/11/22
... got an elaborate WAD.
