How to retrieve ASET mode shapes (phi matrix) in HDF5 output?

Using the NASTRAN HDF5 = 0 command with DISP(PLOT)=ALL it appears that the mode shapes are for the G SET. In HDF Compass I see /NASTRAN/RESULT/NODAL/EIGENVECTOR has the same grid ID's from a USETPRT of the G SET. The A SET has 529 dofs while the G SET has 924.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The goal is to replace the MSC DB Toolbox with H5 output. Currently I can use the toolbox with version 2013 and prior to get the ASET directly from the DBALL/MASTER, without knowing what it is beforehand. I can create the SET you mention, but what about the cases where I don't define it ahead of time? Can I ask NASTRAN to create the SET for me? In my test case I don't manually create the ASET, NASTRAN does that internally. When I do specify the ASET your solution works great. An option like DISP(...)=ASET would be nice.
