With support on AIX only, it was not _that_ useful to us anyway.
However, has anyone inspected how IBM stored the metadata? Related
is the question if such a dsmc archived filespace can be convinced
to give out the data to the API. The other way around is possible
if you do the HL and LL names in a dsmc restore compatible way.
