CAUNZIP - How to see individual PTF descriptions?

Issue/Introduction
We successfully executed the CAUNZIP utility and received and applied a group of PTFs in SMP without problems
We need to have in a partitioned library all of these PTFs with description, like this:
This way if I select one of them I can see the description delivered with the PTF:
Since CAUNZIP does not create any output like this, how can we obtain the descriptions of each PTF?
Environment
Release : ANY
Component : CAUNZIP Utility
Resolution
While the CAUNZIP utility is not designed to provide a partitioned dataset containing the PTFs contained in the zipfile, here are a couple of options that can be used to create a sequential file (SMPPTFIN) that can be browsed.
It is in this sequential file that you can review each PTF description.
1. When the CAUNZIP utility is run it creates a paxfile in a newly created directory (see jobs SYSPRINT output). This file is generally used when you run the SMP RECEIVE job
Example: /u/users/CA/21116303/21116303/SMPNTS/SMPPTFIN/S0002.CA.TMPPTF.D21067.T113844.pax.Z
In OMVS, run a pax command against this pax file (pax -rvf filename). This will create a file named SMPPTFIN. You can OBROWSE this created file to read the descriptions of each ++PTF
2. You can run a modified version of CAUNZIP to direct the output to datasets that can be browsed. Below is some sample JCL to accomplish this method. Browse the created yourHLQ.SMPPTFIN dataset.

//* FUNCTION: SAMPLE JOB USED TO UNZIP THE ZIP FILE CREATED BY **
//* CA SUPPORT ONLINE TO STANDARD MVS DATASETS. **
//* **
//* INSTRUCTIONS: **
//* **
//* 1. Insert a valid JOB card. A minimum REGION of 128 MB is **
//* required. REGION=0M is recommended. **
//* **
//* 2. Update /your/USS/pathname to the location where you **
//* downloaded the ZIP file. **
//* **
//* 3. Update order#.zip to the file name within your USS **
//* directory. **
//* **
//* 4. Update /your/java/path to your site valid Java path. Java **
//* version 5 of higher is supported **
//* **
//* 5. Update yourHLQ to the high level qualifier to use for **
//* temporary datasets. This utility allocates at least 300 **
//* cylinders to temporary datasets. If TEMPHLQ() is removed **
//* from the job the utility will use USERID() as the high **
//* level qualifier. **
//* **
//* 6. Update DSNPREF to your desired dataset prefix. **
//* **
//* 7. Update vvvvvv to your desired volser. **
