Unless I am totally missing the point of your entry, AMBLIST is
essentially for LOAD MODULES *NOT* for catalogs.
IDCAMS (or its invoker in this case ISPF) is under discussion here.

Is there any way to see the aliases at all? Am I missing some
option in
ISPF?
Will AMBLIST show aliases? I believe that for Program Objects AMBLIST
uses the Program Management API. (But is AMBLIST convenient for you?)
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. PMR. WAD.
