>But it says "Data set name type : PDS " Believe them. Trust me on this one. Your dataset is defined on the OUTSIDE as a PDS, but the INTERNAL organization is corrupt (Max Dir Blocks = zero). Your PDS is unusable. I would suggest that you ***review*** the actual creation process of that PDS and ensure your PDS is created 100% correct. (Dataset org, Sizing (Cyls, etc), Record Format and Length, directory blocks, optional - Blocksize) HTH!
