Sorry for not following this thread properly. I don't know why OP wants a PDS dataset. Nothing wrong with that; it just puts the user in charge of getting the right attributes.
Suggestion: Use XDC to create a brand new sequential dataset with SDSF's preferred attributes. Then use ISPF 3.2 to create a PDS with same DCB attributes. As others have said, let SDB optimize block size. Fastest, cleanest way I can think to do it. . .

I think the issue was, somebody defined PDS with record length of only 80 and and then when we were doing XDC and trying to put report into PDS member even by specifying bigger record length but its report was not able to fit because PDS was only defined with 80 length. So, now i created PDS with VBA and bigger record length and all worked.. Thanks for all help.
