Yep, you went slightly over the limit of 15,728,639
Record number TTRs start at X'100001' within a PDSE member.
Record number TTRs range from X'100001' to X'FFFFFF'.
The maximum number of PDSE members is 522,236.
Is this documented anywhere? I searched Using Datasets and came up empty.
Yes, it is in DFSMS Using Data Sets. At least at z/OS 1.10 and above (I
didn't check earlier):
MAXIMUM MEMBERS IN A PDSE:

MAXIMUM RECORDS (LINES) IN A PDSE MEMBER:

Thanks, it explains why my searches came up empty. I didn't have time to
read the whole PDSE section. What a crappy design. The maximum PDSE member
size should have been at least the number of 80-byte records that would have
filled up a 65535 track PDS. Brain dead.
