Ted,

The only point I am making is that it is not necessarily IDCAMS that is
at fault. I got the same results using IEFBR14 and the original JCL.

Both 
//STEP1     EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD2       DD DSN=MY.SEQ.DFHCMACD,UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=32760,RECFM=VB),DSORG=PS,
//             SPACE=(CYL,(7,1),RLSE)

And 
//STEP1     EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD2       DD DSN=MY.SEQ.DFHCMACD,UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=32760,RECFM=VB),
//             SPACE=(CYL,(7,1),RLSE)

Gives me a PDS with 0(zero) Directory Blocks the same as
//STEP1     EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=8M
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1       DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICPTS31.CICS.DFHCMACD
//DD2       DD DSN=MY.SEQ.DFHCMACD,UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=32760,RECFM=VB),
//             SPACE=(CYL,(7,1,43),RLSE)
//SYSIN     DD  *
  REPRO IFILE(DD1) OFILE(DD2)

What is strange though is that in the last case it says that 98% used,
yet as originally stated, it is not accessible.

  REPRO IFILE(DD1) OFILE(DD2)
IDC0005I NUMBER OF RECORDS PROCESSED WAS 6569
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 0
