Maybe also output format CSV (which could be either comma- or tab-separated) for direct input to spreadsheet software.
If we had GNU awk 4.1+ available in z/OS Unix we would also have the gawk extension API which could be used to write a C program to invoke IGGCSI00 which could be invoked directly from an awk script (like the gawk XML extension). Then we would be in really nice shape. One can dream . . .

LISTCAT (equivalent) with XML / JSON output Would be very cool to have a tool that called IGGCSI00 with parameters like: - dsn and/or catalog filter - list of fields to emit - output format (JSON, pipe-delimited, XML) ( IMO pipe-delimited would be the most useful for piping into awk ) Its pretty easy to call IGGCSI00 from C / C++ / Metal C if you like that sort of thing.
