It has arisen:
IKJ56893I DATA SET user.TEMP.BIG.PDS NOT ALLOCATED+
IGD17051I ALLOCATION FAILED FOR DATA SET
SPPG.TEMP.BIG.PDS
, PRIMARY SPACE EXCEEDS 65,535 TRKS

Types of data sets which are not limited to 65,535 total tracks
allocated on any one volume are:
* Extended format sequential
* HFS
* PDSE
* VSAM
So PDSE is less constrained than PDS.
