And I suspect that ISPF still relies on reading PDS(E) directories as PS data sets rather than using DESERV. Likely a major reason for the simulated directory support for PDSE. And the DDLIST panel's MEMBER command will return only members of PDS(E), not UNIX directories in mixed catenations, potentially badly misleading when the name occurs in an earlier UNIX catenand.
