Steve,

Another thought would be (if the right level of z/OS) he could filter the
SMF Type 42 records (Subtypes 20 21 24 25 for example) for MEMBERs and maybe
find them that way.  

But I think that he left out a bit of detail on what he was trying to do.  I
can think of a couple of iterations where these actions would not give him
the results he is after.
