Side note: It's interesting you mentioned grep because the first time I
saw DSFS that's the command I wanted to run, to do searching that has
always been a bit difficult in MVS but easy in Unix.

I really like DSFS, but it has one major failing: migrated data sets.
If a data set is migrated, it becomes 100% invisible to DSFS. If you
can't see it, you can't even initiate a recall.
Therefore, if you wish to grep through a directory or something like
that, you must first prepare the environment by recalling everything.
That's inconvenient.
I realize migrate/recall is somewhat "old fashioned" but we still do it
and I suspect others do as well.
