Just to be clear: you are only interested in temporary data sets where the 
system generated the name? You do not care about temporary data sets where the 
user specified the name fully, by using something like: 
DSNAME=X.Y,DISP=(NEW,DELETE),SPACE=...

If you really want ALL temporary data sets then you cannot definitively find 
them by name.

It would help if we knew what you were really trying to accomplish :)
