Something to the effect that DDLIST was designed to use ISPF
services to support ISPF functions, and ISPF has no service to
scan a UNIX directory.  They also mentioned that DDLIST is somehow
oriented to problem analysis.  I pointed out that identifying the
wrong member of a library catenation can seriously mislead a
programmer attempting to analyze a problem.  They were
unmoved.

That was several years ago.  ISPF has become more UNIX-friendly
in the interim.  DDLIST remains BAD.

I routinely use UNIX directories in my SYSEXEC catenation, but
the first catenand must not not be a UNIX directory.  I reported
this as a problem, and IBM says, "Not supported."  They give
the appearance of not caring.  (I get sporadic S0C4 when exiting
a panel, but never more than once per session.)
