While IBM has been preaching 32760 for loadlibs and system- determined blocksizes for other libraries, it has also been churning out some Program Directories that have not been rewritten for decades, with BLKSIZE=6144 for loadlibs, 3200 for LRECL=80 datasets, etc. And some people are afraid to go against Program Directories, even when the info is against the latest recommendations elsewhere; even when the info is obviously obsolete. Maybe I've been unlucky enough to work with the last few products to update their program directories. (But I doubt it.)
