File Manager performance improvement for DSLIST

End users have compared the performance of SCS data list of File Manager to SASZDLST for the same
search sting.

SASZDLST time is ELAPSED=12.65
and File manager is ELAPSED=10:53.01

That is 12 seconds vs 10 minutes.

It makes it really had to get programmers to use File Manager.

    This RFE is being closed because of age. We recognize this as an important function - but we cannot deliver this in the next year. Raise a new RFE to put this back on the development agenda.
    In regard to this feature.
    An alternative solution would be to use an undocumented feature which does a data set list and produces an XML document.
    An example is below and this should perform better than SCS
    //MLIST EXEC PGM=FILEMGR
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
    //FMNXMLO DD SYSOUT=*
    //SYSIN DD *
    $$FILEM DSFL DSN=hlq.dsn,PROPS=YES
    /*
    //
    The PROP=YES produces details - if you just want data set names use PROP=NO.
