The last used block in the directory has a key of X'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'. <snip> Yeah, there is that issue. I was trying to think of a way around STOW. The xSAM writes of directory blocks would work, if you could get the KEY of CKD involved. However, if you did this and then immediately followed it by IEBCOPY for compress, I wonder if that would solve all the problems. I guess I can find out sometime tomorrow, when I have the time, to try this with IDCAMS with a REPRO of a bunch of pseudo directory blocks... <SNIP> Well, just using IDCAMS to repro in the first directory block as the initial empty block and then follow this by a repro of a place-holder member in the source PDS I was practicing with -- SB14-10. So much for this idea.
