ISPF has its head stuffed in the twentieth century. I suspect that for its member lists, including those used by DDLIST it relies on opening PDS(E)s DSORG=PS and parsing directory blocks, rather than using current interfaces such as DESERV (but I don't believe DESERV is UNIX-savvy). A consequence is that DDLIST member search of a mixed catenation will bypass a UNIX directory and report instead a member in a PDS(E) later in the catenation, whereas BLDL will find the earlier UNIX member.
