I'm reworking some code to avoid multiple OPENs for
reading PDS members..

But, I will still be just reading one member at a time,
and I don't know the member names a-priori.

The DFSMS documentation states that using BLDL + FIND
(and using the ttr,C form for FIND) results in a performance
improvement... over simply pointing FIND at the DCB.

But - is that still true if the BLDL list is only for one member?

That is, if you're looking for one member at a time, is there
a reason to prefer BLDL+FIND over a direct FIND of the DCB?

It seems to me the next BLDL is going to have to read the PDS
directory to find the information; just like a FIND would have
to do???
