Problem Objects: A Freudian Slip?
The z/OS MVS JCL Reference defines DSNTYPE=LIBRARY as: Specifies a DFSMS-managed partitioned data set extended (PDSE). A PDSE can contain data and problem object members. Given the history of PDSEs, surely the use of problem for program is more than simply a random typo.

Re: Problem Objects: A Freudian Slip?
Yes, I noticed that also. They seemed to have trouble articulating that a PDSE could have only data or program objects at any one time. In DFSMS Using Data Sets, there is a statement: One PDSE cannot contain a mixture of program objects and data members. This could be misconstrued that there is only one PDSE with such a limitation. It would be clearer to state: A PDSE cannot contain a mixture of program objects and data members. -or- No PDSE can contain a mixture of program objects and data members. I may be splitting hairs but I did suffer a read check and had to reread that sentence when I encountered it.
