But don't PDS directory blocks have keys on disk?   IEBGENER won't copy
those - your target dataset will be regular DSORG=PS.

You can ignore the existence of the keys. Their sole purpose is to allow the PDS code to locate the correct record which contains the entry information without the need to read the full directory sequentially to locate the entry. You use the key to locate the required record and read IT sequentially.
