He's trying to resolve a discrepancy in a load module managed by Endevor. I 
suggested that he look at the CSVxxxxx macros. Is there an interface to convert 
a token into a dsname?

But why do you care about that member? How did you find the DCB or DDNAME in 
the first place? Why is that particular DD relevant?

If you are, after a module has already been loaded, trying to find where it 
came from originally there are some significant pitfalls because after it's 
been loaded you can't simply look at the allocated data sets and assume the 
module came from one of them, unless perhaps the module came from a joblib or 
tasklib for an active task. But the question is how you know it came from the 
joblib/tasklib and not from some other DCB that was used directly for a 
LINK/LOAD/etc, because those DCBs can be closed and the data sets reallocated 
between the time the module was loaded and the time you got control to look for 
the information.

And for modules that are in a joblib/tasklib, the module might have been 
replaced in the library after it was loaded, but before you looked.
