Yes, I noticed that also. They seemed to have trouble articulating that a PDSE
could have only data or program objects at any one time.
In DFSMS Using Data Sets, there is a statement:
"One PDSE cannot contain a mixture of program objects and data members."
This could be misconstrued that there is only one PDSE with such a limitation.
It would be clearer to state:
"A PDSE cannot contain a mixture of program objects and data members."
-or-
"No PDSE can contain a mixture of program objects and data members."
I may be splitting hairs but I did suffer a read check and had to reread that
sentence when I encountered it.
