We have found the enemy and it was me. According to IBM it was the Dynamic volume count causing the problem. Something that they have seen before so at least I'm not alone.

File has 1 extent. Could be. IMO, LNKLST data sets should be allocated without constraint relief so that they will not need to go to another extent.
