>36B0 hex = 14000 decimal, and that is the length I am expecting. Your expectation is not correct. The length returned (both in R1 as the number of doublewords, or via EXTINFO) represents the amount of space that the system obtains.
Particularly for program objects, it is often the case that the storage amount allotted is rounded up to 4K, which actually correlates to the fact that PDSE space allocation is typically in 4K mutiples. That rounding does not typically happen for load modules (in PDS). You did not explain why you might "need" 36B0 hex. If you want something that lets you see "36B0", since that is what ISPF shows, it must be that that is the data you get back via BLDL and/or DESERV GET.
