We have used PDSE almost exclusively since the mid-1990s. If a PDS is
restored from a backup, it is still a PDS. But, if a PDS is allocated
new, it is automatically allocated as DSNTYPE=LIBRARY. Now and then, we
run into some utility or another that doesn't work well (or at all) with
PDSE. In such cases, we use DSNTYPE=PDS to force the allocation to PDS.
Otherwise, very few issues.
We had some ongoing problems that chronically affected our largest PDSEs
and so we thought PDSE was to blame for many months but, in the end,
those problems turned out to be associated with EAV and ADRDSSU
CONSOLIDATE processing.
