ISPF uses a QSAM read of the directory to build member list names. Long names can be retrieved using the DESERV macro - which ISPF does not use.
And then there is this little gem for the DESERV HIDE=YES/NO parameter "Hidden names are normally used only for program management binding purposes, and are supported only for program objects in PDSE libraries. As a single program object can contain many hidden names and as these names do not represent executable entry points into a module, they are of little interest to end users. Utilities and other programs which list or display member names and aliases typically omit hidden aliases.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> OK. I ported some C code (sqlite3 to be exact) to z/OS UNIX. This created an object file which I then put in an FB/80 object PDS (using "cp -B"). I then linked that into a PDS/E using the binder with the PARM of ALIASES=ALL. The output shows all of the external, long, names as HIDDEN and I can't see those aliases in an ISPF directory listing. Is there any way to see the aliases at all? Am I missing some option in ISPF? -- As of next week, passwords will be entered in Morse code.
