This is part of the whole MVS schizophrenia on members IMHO.

- Does not SVC 99 info retrieval return DSORG=PO for DSN=pds.name(member)?
- Can you not open DSN=pds.name(member) with a BPAM DCB and do FIND and BLDL
against it?
- Why does DSN=pds.name(member),DISP=(OLD,DELETE) not delete just the
member? (Yes, I know, because the documentation says so.)

I think all of the above are inconsistent with MVS's "philosophy" of
treating pds.name(member) "just as though" it were a sequential dataset.

Yes, yes, I know, it's always been this way and the documentation says so.

Subject: TSO TRANSMIT of PDS member

For a test of something else, I ran the job step:

//TOJES    EXEC  PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT  DD   SYSOUT=(,)
//SYSTSIN   DD   *
    transmit host.user ddname(INDD) outddname(OUTDD)
//INDD      DD   DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MACLIB(SPLEVEL)
//OUTDD     DD   SYSOUT=(,)

The logs and SYSOUT show that TRANSMIT seems to have unloaded
and transmitted all of SYS1.MACLIB, not just SPLEVEL.  Has it
