ITYM because a 3390 track will hold 45 directory blocks. That might or moght
not mean that you won't run out of directory space, though.
Certainly, I think
a direcrtory should have room to allow for more members or more information in
the user data.
Make that PDS a PDSE and not need to worry about under allocating
those Directory Blocks or Space (As you update it will automatically
recover/recycle the GAS blocks that were created by
updating/replacing a member).
