So I have to go out and get a nonstandard utility ...

... or go through IKJEFT01; ISPSTART; LM*; ... Of course, I can do this
easily with foreground ISPF; DSLIST; Info. But I had set myself the goal
of doing it all in a _simple_ (self-contained) batch job so I could post
here a refutation to the doubter.
Why does MVS make simple things so damned hard!?
OK. Here's the hybrid solution; batch JCL:
//
//EMPTY JOB 505303JOB,'Paul Gilmartin',
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=0M
//*
//USERC OUTPUT JESDS=ALL,DEFAULT=YES,
// CLASS=R,PAGEDEF=V0648Z,CHARS=GT12
//*
//STEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSUT0 DD DISP=(MOD,DELETE),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(0,1),
// DSN=&SYSUID..TEMP.ALMOST.EMPTY
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(0,1),
// DSN=&SYSUID..TEMP.ALMOST.EMPTY
//
