Try doing a TSO PROFILE PREFIX(youruserid) prior to calling IPCS. Assuming your system programmers didn't change anything IPCS should use SYS1.ISPCLIB(BLSCDDIR) (or whatever dataset name they used to install the IBM clists into). You could do a DDLIST and then a M BLSCDDIR to find it on your system.

Following on to taltyman's advice, once you find CLIST BLSCDDIR, do

IPCS, the Interactive Problem Control System, is an ISPF application for viewing system dumps. Each dump is written to a dataset and the dump directory (DDIR) keeps track of the datasets. Here's a link to the manual - http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/iea2c620.pdf

IPCS can also be used to browse storage in your active address space!
