I just re-tested even though I know I have done this on more than a couple occasions in the past. <side bar> This is back in the days when all my ISV data sets weren't on a secondary sysres and maintenance or even release upgrades were often implemented with "emptying" the PDS (via PDS86 or other) and then copying in the new modules and refreshing LLA. Sometimes the vendor would add modules and the old directory blocks in the LNKLST PDS weren't enough. Back to the test I just ran in one of my sandbox LPARs: I have a LNKLST library with ASMH in it (IEV90 / IEV*). The library is way over allocated at 20 CYL and had 50 dir blocks. I used PDS86 to increase the directory blocks to 500. PDS86 moved every single module in the library in order to expand the directory. I then ran a batch ASM job and received a 106-0F abend (as expected). I did an "F LLA,REFRESH" (as opposed to update of a single library which I would do on a production system) and reran my assembly job with no problems.
