OTOH, if you concatenate PDSs together as PDS and then stick in a
DSORG=PS I would imagine you will get a very interesting ABEND

Depending on the DCB attributes involved, you might end up reading all
the directories. The old ASMG product from the University of Waterloo
used this method to load the directories of all the SYSLIB datasets,
saving a lot of time and I/O during macro expansion. By so doing, it was
able to use POINT, rather than BLDL/FIND to locate macros and copy code
in the SYSLIB concatenation.
