It changed in DFSMS/MVS 1.3. (32) + (16n) + (k-1) n = the number of DASD extents (PDSE counts as 1) k = the number of data set in the link list The result of the algorithm could not exceed 2040. If running DFSMS/MVS 1.3 or later, then the only restriction is that the total number of extents must not exceed 255. PDSE still counts as 1.
