I think you are up to scratch and re-allocate. Dump with IEBCOPY or DFDSS (IEBCOPY is safe and reliable). Then scratch and reallocate (and I don't know the max directory blocks allowed) then reload. I feel very safe with IEBCOPY. That is not to say DFDSS is not safe, IEBCOPY has been around since MVT a million years ago and I have been around that long too!
I am certain there will be more opinions.
