Obviously Barbara intentionally didn't request any directory blocks. I would expect and I am sure she did also that would produce a JCL error.
I'm conflicted whether this should produce a JCL error. Programmers have been using RDJFCB/OPENJ and changing all kinds of things for ages. OPEN could test a (new, DD related) bit to see whether a directory build is required; it could also default to a one block or one track directory.
In any case, IBM should be persuaded to either produce a JCL error or modify the directory build to write an EOF.
