There are at least three pieces of information about a dataset that are useful
to have at one time:

     1. The MPE/iX file name
     2. The set number
     3. The dataset name

Very oten, one of these three is known and knowledge of the one or both of the
the other two is required.

Starting with the dataset name, both Adager and Suprtool will provide the set
number (from which I can infer the MPE/iX file name up to 99 and calculate it
above 99, a bother.

Starting with the MPE/iX file name, MPEX LISTF filename,DB will return the
dataset name. Of course, starting with the set number I can infer or calculate
the MPE/iX file name, another bother.

Is there any place where I can type one of the three aliases and have returned
the other two? (a la CALC where I can use a hex, decimal or octal number and
have returned the result in all three formats).

Thanks,
