I am writing a PC program to extract members from a PDS binary. I have all
the information I need on the PDS directory structure, but haven't been
able to find a definition for the volume definition block. Is this
available in any BM books that I might be able to find online?

If I understand correctly, the voldef tells me if the PDS is ISPF, etc.,
creat date, expiration date, record size, etc. I need this information to
handle conversion from fixed records to DOS variable length (CR/LF), etc.

Thanks in advance,
