As I read this, you omitted an essential step:
All other jobs which have the PDSE open for output must close
it before the space can be reclaimed.
Then, opening it for OUTPUT ("to write one member") seems supremely
academic: the space is not reclaimed until it's needed, at which
point it is automatically reclaimed.
