Depending on your comfort level with programming languages, you could do any of
the following (in ascending order of difficulty) :
(1) Use the SDSF REXX API to issue the "PS" command and process the results
Very simple to achieve what you want in approx 20 lines of REXX code.
(2) Call BPXEKDA

Since you said " I made a transaction that drove MOD1", this brings up
the question of whether or not this is a CICS region.

As a developer I've come to rely on using HSM to restore prior day's data from
production files where we don't take an explicit daily backup (as it's
un-needed for normal business processing). Some of these files are files that
are open to CICS. I find that HSM backs them up on some days but

If you do both full volume, and incremental backup, the full volume can happen
even when open. The data may be "dirty". I think there is also an option to
