You are probably right but when we did this it was maybe 15-20 years since the last time we did it and there weren't any written procedures so we made some mistakes along the way. That was what led me to write the document.

We might have been able to avoid this problem by allocating a sequential dataset and then zapping the DSCB to make it a PDS. But we didn't, so the next step was to recreate the original PDS directory. Remember the DFDSS PRINT of the tracks? I don't understand the need to supply any DCB parameters, the number of directory blocks, or DSORG. After allocating the data set on top of the original PDS, you then zap the F1 DSCB for all the parameters you didn't supply. And the F1 does not contain the number of directory blocks anyway. This would result in a lot less error-prone work.
