"find" supports wildcards and boolean expressions; "ls" supports neither. The massaging would need to protect special characters with a scheme supported by DFSMSdss.

What you're asking is akin to asking DFSMSdss to select individual PDS members. >Also, with a DUMP of data comes the requirement to be able to RESTORE it to >- possibly - a different WORKINGDIRECTORY, but I haven't got that far yet. > Use 'pax".
