FWIW, within IBM code, a BLDL could not get a 306-04. A module fetch after 
a BLDL? Sure. But the directory entry is not relevant to that particular 
"decision".

LLA does not care at all about the APF nature of a data set. 

Abend 306-04 results specifically from checking DEBAPFIN and finding it 
off.

If PDSMAN is issuing 306-04 out of BLDL, then it is 100% wrong. If PDSMAN 
is in some way intercepting a "load with GLOBAL=YES" and issuing the 
abend, then you'd have to find out in what circumstances (I know nothing 
about PDSMAN). Does PDSMAN truly take on the task of doing a module fetch? 
That strikes me as "unwise" (to be charitable).

I would be very surprised if anything was in any way sensitive to a change 
in the APF state of a data set in a concatenation after OPEN of that 
concatenation. For everything other than the LNKLST when LNKAUTH=APFTAB is 
in effect, this is checked by OPEN, captured in DEBAPFIN, and never 
checked again while the DCB is OPEN. Doing just about anything else would 
likely have abominable performance characteristics. There is certainly no 
notification made about a change in the APF state of a data set.
