Great idea but this works great when the PDSE is either a PDS, a PDSE version 
1, or a PDSE version 2 without member generations enabled.

I think you need to escape the parentheses.  And I don't see the magic '//'
in your command, but that may be just your message.  So, cp -U -M 
"//'hlq.data.set\(member\)'" /u/me/pdsdir/... assuming this survives emailing.

I just read up on this researching a related problem.  Seems the // notation is 
really twitchy.
