You can do the same thing with the command line, although it's not
nearly as handy:

dsmc restore /* -subdir=yes -ina -pick

This will create a scrollable list that contains much of the information
you're looking for. You can, of course, be more selective with the file
designator so that you don't have to scroll through hundreds of screens
to get the information you're after.
