Additional Information

This is a LOAD operation -  the input is a sequential file (GDG) that contains an unloaded PDSE.
The unloaded data set contains a huge number of members - we have a counter for a selection  list we're building that has 455,779 members. 
That number of members  has caused a GETMAIN length to be calculated incorrectly and PDSMAN has gone  to one of the end the area prematurely and the 0C4-11 results.

Circumvent the problem by adding //FCOPYOFF DD DUMMY to the job.
