It says that in Using Data Sets, 3.8.11 Reading a PDSE Directory:

    You can read a PDSE directory sequentially just by opening the data set 
(without using positioning macros) and reading it.
        ...
        If you also want to read the keys (the name of the last member in that 
block), use BSAM and specify KEYLEN=8. 

It fakes it all.  It even fakes keys.  But does it return a usable TTR;
one that can be used in a subsequent POINT?
            ...
        However, you cannot sequentially read a UNIX directory.

Bummer.
