>>FTP MGET seems the way to go, but my first effort yielded files with
just the member name as file name.
Using CMD you should run rename command from the PDS directory on your
work station as MGET doesn't put the file extension.
rename * *.txt
Another alternative is
Allocate a FB flat file of same LRECL as your PDS.
XMIT the PDS to the flat file using TSO XMIT command as follows.
XMIT node.userid DA('your.pds') OUTDA('your.ps')
Download the file in binary mode to your PC as a .XMI file.
Use XmitManager to view or extract the members in the file as .txt files.
