This is just a weird thought, feel free to call me an idiot. But there are two "classes" of members in a PDS at present. There are normal member and there are ALIASes. It generally seems that an ALIAS does not contain a TTR per se, but actually contains the actual member name. Am I remembering correctly?
No. An alias entry differs by one bit, indicating its status, but has its normal complement of one or more TTRs. In the original design, only reentrant load module alias entries also had the name of the main member.
I see no obvious way to indicate a member name list, as all bits in the minimum 12-byte directory entry are accounted for. SPF and binder entries could be expanded, but I'd just as soon have an option of specifying a name list on the DD.
