Gil, You are right as usual. I used this utility to repair PDS
files(recfm.dsorg,lrecl,blksize,cyl,dir,members) on the fly. It supports PDSe
in a limited way. John Kalinich wrote this tool and would know it abilities in
detail. I just thought it might be worth a shot. .

Knowing almost nothing about PDSE internals, I'd hesitate to change DCB
attributes with a tool such as PDS86. Those attributes may be reflected
internally in the PDSE in OCO-undocumented ways.
But if PDS86 has been routinely used to modify PDSE attributes without
problems, it's probably safe. Does it just overwrite the DSCB?
This is unlikely to be the OP's problem anyway.
