  I've had good luck with the following:

         pds_dsn = "MYPDS.DATASET"
         memlist = ""
         xx = OUTTRAP('mems.','*','NOCONCAT')
         "LISTDS "pds_dsn" MEMBERS"
         xx = OUTTRAP('OFF')
         DO i = 1 TO mems.0
           IF mems.i = "--MEMBERS--" THEN
             DO i = i+1 TO mems.0
               memlist = memlist mems.i  /* list of members */
             END
           ELSE
             ITERATE i
         END
         DROP mems.

  This will work in TSO.  If you have ISPF, I believe there are library
services that will do the same.
