To refute Bruce's belief, it is a fact.  You pay a nice 5-digit USD amount
for one copy (and DSECTs) of the DFSMSdfp Advanced Customization Manual,
which not only documents FAMS, but SMS services, DASDCALC, and some CVAF
routines, amongst others.  (Additional copies cost USD 1K back in 1999. It
probably costs more nowadays.)

FAMS (File Attributes Manager) is a callable IBM interface which FDREPORT
uses to get info about PDSE and HFS datasets.  However, I believe the API is
only docmented if you pay IBM for the info.  

Sorry, we don't have any external interface through FDR code that you can
use to get into it.  Of course, FDREPORT output can be written in tabular
format and read by other programs, or imported into spreadsheets, etc.  if
that helps.
