If you don't want to drop into assembler, you can read the directory of a PDS by having a DDname point to the data set name and DO NOT specify a member name. Use an LRECL and BLKSIZE of 256. You can read to the end and then you have the entire directory in storage. This can be done in REXX if necessary. Then you need the mapping that Mike Shaw posted to interpret the data that is returned.
