Sure. The OP just asked PDS/PDSE so I focused on that.

Lots of variations. What about dataset accessed as a QSAM file but actually 
PDS/PDSE member? FWIW the distinction goes away for USS -- every file is a 
"member" of a directory.

Any of three.  Don't overlook UNIX files, although *SAM support for UNIX files 
is haphazard.  If it works, I assume it's supported; if I report a failure I
