I think a missing piece here is what version of MPE that Cory is
running.  Because, unfortunately John's solution will not work with
MPE/iX 5.5.  I believe that you will need to be on MPE/iX 6.0.  The
results under MPE 5.5 will likely yield the following results...

  BOI4C:listfile ([a-b]@,[d-m]@,[o-z]@),2
  Non-existent MPE named file "[A-B]@.SACSRC.FACA". (CIWARN 920)
  ACCOUNT=  FACA        GROUP=  SACSRC

  FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                    SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

  DSPLYOUT           80B  FA          73         73   3       32  1  1
