so there is something strange that IEBGENER does to empty PDSE members (when
closing them) on your system that it does not do on others' systems?

Only meant to summarize the conclusions so far ...

isn't there a mechanism to cache PDSE directories system wide, to fasten up
library searches? Could this have some effect here?

Just a very wild guess ...

Kind regards

Bernd
