The TSO Transmit command provide a very reliable (and reversible) 
method of converting a PDS (or PDSE ) into a sequential dataset!!

        Ex:     XMIT NODE.DUMMY DA('SYS1.PARMLIB') 
OUTDS('SYS1.PARMLIB.TEMP.SEQ')

        The OUTDS will be allocated with DCB parameters of LRECL=80 RECFM=FB 
DSORG=PS and BLKSIZE=3120.

I've been following this discussion with some belated interest. Years ago I 
cooked up something dirt simple to turn a PDS into a SD file using the TSO 
print command. It wasn't very elegant but it got the job done at low cost.
