AMATERSE supports Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) and tape data sets:
Sequential data sets, which can be unpacked by VM TERSE.
Partitioned data sets (PDS), and partitioned data sets extended (PDSE) that
do not contain program objects.
Large format (DSNTYPE=LARGE) data sets.
Fixed and variable, blocked and unblocked, spanned and unspanned record
formats (RECFM) =F, FB, FBS, V, VB,VBS where the logical record length (LRECL)
is less than 32K; and RECFM=VBS where the LRECL may be more than 32K but less
than 64K.
Data sets with records containing ISO/ANSI or machine code printer control
characters.
Placement of data sets into cylinder-managed space is also supported.

So, AMATERSE does NOT support PDSEs with program objects. Hum, a quick test on
z/OS 1.10 worked with PDS with load modules. I did a PACK of a PDS (not PDSE)
library with load modules in it, then an UNPACK to a new name. Looked OK to me.
