The documentation clearly says that AMATERSE does not support Program 
Objects in a  PDSE but has anyone tried raising a PMR to get this caught 
at TERSE time rather than at UNTERSE time?

AMATERSE uses its own scheme for unloading and transmitting the PDS[E]
directory, rather than doing what most such programs do which is to
invoke IEBCOPY for this part of the work. IEBCOPY will invoke the
Binder to process Program Objects, and the Binder is the only
"authorized" tool do do so. So AMATERSE runs into trouble when it goes
to write Program Objects into the receiving PDSE (or presumably it
checks and issues a message in this case).

The simple answer is to run IEBCOPY unload first on your own, and then
AMATERSE the resulting sequential dataset. And of course the reverse
at the receiving end.

Alternatively, and more generally, you could run ADRDSSU to do a
logical dump of your dataset, AMATERSE that, and again reverse things
at the other end.
