pax works well with archives in Classic data sets.  (I've used DSORG=PS;
never tried PO.)  But why not pass the DSN(MEMBER) in PARM rather than
a DD statement.  If 100-character limit is intolarable, alternatives include
STDPARM, PARMDD, and STDENV.

And beware.  No standard utilities (e.g. pax) are specified to work with //DD:
and only a handful with //DSN.  Otherwise, it's an accident if they work, and
unsupported if they break.
