"Code DINRTORG to request the return of the data set organization (DSORG) of
the specified resource."
"Code DINRTMEM to request the return of the member name associated with the
specified allocation."
By getting this information *before* OPEN you should be able to set up your
DCB appropriately.

I would expect DYNALLOC IR to work equally well after OPEN as
