Indeed...
There is one of those "el cheapo" (cards in a sales deck distributed
en masse) products that does this exactly . I ran into this once and
got zippo support from the vendor.
I inquired as to why we were running it in the first place as no one
looked at the output. I got them to delete the two steps (1 for
idcams and 1 for the el cheapo pgm) and no one knew the difference.

An IBM supported way to do this is by using the IGGCSI00 interface
to read the catalog information in your program. There are code
examples in SYS1.SAMPLIB which begin with IGGCSIxx for HLASM and
REXX. I have a few variation of a program in C, but was not able to
finish it because management eliminated our C license before I
could finish it.

As another said, you might use REXX to parse the output of a
LISTCAT, but this is "frowned upon" by IBM because the output from
a LISTCAT is not a GUPI (General User Programming Interface) and
may change from release to release, and even with just a PTF. I.e.
if a PTF breaks your program, IBM will not regard it as a bug.
