In the process of reviewing out LLA libraries it was discovered that
some libraries were not in LLA. I made the request to out outsourcer
to add these datasets. Their response was that they are PDSEs and there
is no advantage to adding PDSEs to LLA, even with the FREEZE option.

By definition:
1. PO/PDSE cannot span volumes.
2. PO/PDSE can only be put into the link list.
So, what are you putting into the link list that is multi-volume?
