This message is less informative that it should be. The value +32767 is of course the [decimal] capacity of a signed binary halfword, and what we notionally have here is an instance of control-block field overflow; but I suspect that this message is an artefact of the use of IEFBR14---As Elardus has already pointed out, it does nothing itself and wots not of VSAM---to trigger the deletion of a VSAM dataset identified in a JCL DD statement.
