You might want to consider doing an SVC99 query by DDNAME to get the
related dataset name.

You can invoke SVC99 from a C program using the C-runtime or directly via
assembler.

Or if you read between the lines enough, you can the c-runtime svc99
function directly from cobol with text units built in your working
storage.  This is a really good way to practice your pointers in COBOL.
