I'd start with standard IBM utility (iebupdte) to unload the pds to a sequential file, send it, then use same utility to create a new pds (or update) from the sequential file. if it gets screwed up in transmit, deal with it when it happens, the messages in the utility output should indicate such when reloaded to pds, plus they won't execute. been a while for me, but it once was standard fare when cobol applications were replicated across multiple sites.
