True now, but this did change much more recently than the LNKLST change from DFSMS 1.3. The old limit used a formula similar to the old LNKLST limit where the result of the formula couldn't exceed 2040. The change to allow 255 extents was in z/OS DFSMS 1.5 (z/OS 1.5). >If your datasets are all in one extent you can get to 255 datasets. >BTW, a PDSE counts as only one extent, regardless. > Unix directories also count as one towards the 255 extent limit.
