If you have only the primary name, for a PDS your only approach to finding all 
the aliases is to read the whole directory.
DESERV FUNC=GET_ALL can be a nice way to do this.

IHAPDS maps the PDS directory entry. IGWSMDE/IEWPMAR maps the PDSE directory 
entry.
PDS2ALIS for the former, SMDE_Flag_Alias for the latter.

The directory entry for an alias has the associated primary name.

For a PDSE, there might be binder interface that will return to you the aliases 
(because the program object has a section that includes the names of all the 
aliases).
