Try
'WAKEUP +00:00 (IUCVMSG'
just before 'CP SPXTAPE...'
That sets the diversion as Rob already suggested. Add 'WAKEUP RESET' after
the end of loop.

I guess DIRMAINT used 1DE to perform a test write. So its size should
be large enough to hold at most the full object directory. 19
cylinders is a lot, yiu can have a huge source directory before that
these 19 cylinders get filled (huge: in my eyes, a lot more than 1
