Your Space Parm looks excessively large without a ,RLSE and DISP also looks 
incorrect.  You create and then DELETE.

Many moons ago I had a problem with SMPPTS which was PDSE. At the time 
the limitation of PDSE: 15 728 639 records per member (~1.2GB for FB 
80). And the PTF size was bigger - so I had to go back to PDS which 
doesn't have such limit (there is 64k TRKs per dataset, but it wasn't an 
issue then).

Nowadays I use PDSE v2 which has the above limit relieved (it is 2 146 
435 071 records per member).


BTW: the above JCL code is inconsistent (or silly). UNIT=(,5) has no 
sense for single-volume datasets like PDSE or PDS. Number of directory 
blocks can be 25000 or anything, but it is dummy number, since you chose 
to use PDSE. SPACE pri and sec - adjust it to your volume size and free 
space. BTW: I would code DDDEF instead of DD.
