You might check into the tool PDSE and HFS Analysis Tool (PHATOOL)
The PHATOOL is a service aid that operates as a application program. Its purpose is to check and analyze the directory structures (such as AD and ND) and display the allocation of data set pages. Note that: The PHATOOL is not a PDSE verification tool. The PHATOOL does not perform a consistency check between the attribute and name directory structures. The PHATOOL does not check member data. This is documented in the REDBOOK: Partitioned Data Set Extended Usage Guide SG24-6106-01 (May 2005) It might show you the fragmentation in the Directory of the PDSE which could allow you to verify a need for a reorg. Depending on your z/OS level there was a split in z/OS V1.12 (I think) where a new program for PDS/E datasets was created by IBM so you did not need to use IEBCOPY.
