My complaint about PDSE is that in their infinite lack of wisdom
(probably in response to some bean counter) PDSE can't be a complete
replacement for PDS.  The idea that a supposedly basic access method
isn't available at NIP and requires a started address space has aways
seem wacky to me.  The failure also precludes the idea that FBA access
methods can be used for all work thus allowing z/OS to finally use FBA
disks also shows lack of strategic thinking.  Overall what is the
ration of PDS APARs to PDSE APARs?
