Yep, correct. I optimistically thought the OP was content with a member
list. When I want all the detail I've used SAS PROC SOURCE.

Tony,
That will list the members, I think Charles wants the hex data found in the
directory itself. I am not sure there is an option on LISTD that will dump
the HEX data of the directory itself.
Lizette
I've used this simple method in the past........
//S1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD DSN=YOUR.OUTPUT.FILE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,), etc etc etc
//SYSTSIN DD * PROF NOPREFIX LISTDS 'YOUR.PDS' MEMBERS
