Charles, If I recall when writing an Assembler Program for a STOW macro there were some pointers on how to dump a PDS Directory. And I think there may be information in the ISPF Manuals as well.
Though I think you are better served by doing this with an assembler program. Also, remember IBM can change the info in the directory without explanation.
