Having the same call scheduling DSLIST on IDz (filters) than ISPF (3.4) to access PDS without catalog's right in RACF profile

After discussing with the RDz/IDz host development team, it appears that ISPF and IDz don't order DSLIST in the same way. For example with restricted user RACF profile, READ access to certain datasets but no access to the catalog, you can read the content of datasets on ISPF 3.4 but not with filters in MVS Files on IDz, ICH408I messages in SYSLOGs for both.

Still with IDz host development team, it seem possible to have the same call structure for DSLIST between IDz/ISPF with a testfix for server and that's we need to unlock our situation.
