You might look into using the LISTPDS function of IEHLIST.

There is also a free-standing utility called PDSLIST that may do what you want (if it is installed on your system).

A LISTCAT "batch utility process" job will only give you information about a 'dataset' but nothing about the 'members'. I'm trying to find a "batch utility process" job that will list a PDS dataset 'members' attributes; Name, Size, Created, Changed, ID, etc.

This had not been entirely clear from your initial post. However, the LMMLIST services will return the ISPF user statistics in a library's directory (if they exist; I presume that you know that they are maintained by ISPF itself, not by MVS). I suggest, then, a program that invokes LMMLIST (and other necessary services) that is run under background ISPF.

The SRC and LOAD text on the LIST command is a DD name.

but without the interaction, what would be the point?
