Thanks for the confirmation, Steve. I did consider the possible hacks you mentioned but unfortunately, neither the IEBPDSE utility nor TSO/E LISTDS (nor indeed the TSO/E REXX function, LISTDSI) have been updated to output the MAXGENS value of a PDSE V2 library.
Even if these facilities get updated via an APAR, their use would be undesirable since ours is a commercial application and the functionality being developed would become conditional on the customers' application of the APAR SYSMODs. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and request permission from management to get the FAMS licence.
