No need for TSO.  Use ADDRESS LINKMVS GIMSMP.

But I suspect the OP was seeking a solution that didn't involve scraping a
listing data set.

In which case, they might as well, or better, be in a single zone pair,
especially if load modules are built with cross-FMID INCLUDEs.

If the DSNames are in DDDEFs (highly recommended) they can be listed
with SMP/E commands.  At times, a question has been posed here,
"Can I, for a one-off, overide in JCL the DDDEFs in the CSIs?"  Yes, but
don't do that!

(How useful has the new-fangled DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY proved to be
in making CSI definition UCLIN more consistent?)
