Provide a facility similar to jls but which returns information like SDSF DA instead of ST

On Spark we start jobs (master, worker, executor, driver) and we can control which jobname it assigns. I'm assuming that the IAZXJSAB CREATE interface is used somewhere in Unix-land to register that name. I can see and work with those names and owners using the DA command in SDSF, for example the SDSF panel shows this (and I can automate what I see in SDSF REXX):

SPARKM1 SPARKM1 STC00202 WELLIE1 IN C7 36T 0.00 0.00 0.13 64 0040 100343 7.08 STC

SPARKW1 SPARKW1 STC00205 WELLIE1 IN C5 36T 0.00 0.14 0.10 67 0043 100455 3.28 STC

But if I use ZOAU (in this case the jls command) I only see the original BPXAS name and owner.

IBMUSER BPXAS STC00205 AC ?

IBMUSER BPXAS STC00204 AC ?

IBMUSER BPXAS STC00203 AC ?

IBMUSER BPXAS STC00202 AC ?

I get the same result of I do an SDSF ST instead of a DA. (ST shows the JES view of the jobs whereas DA shows the system view.)

What I need is a zoau method to get what DA gives me.
