Do you have SAS? If so, you can make a flat file of the PDS with PROC SOURCE. It adds a separator in front of each member, that you can have filled with the membername. Then you have a flat file with the membername before the contents of each member. You can process this flat file by checking the first record of each file for the membername from the separator.
