You can print or punch the contents of a partitioned directory using IEBPTPCH. If the directory is printed in hexadecimal representation, the first four printed characters of each directory block indicate the total number of bytes used in that block. . If the directory is punched, data from the directory block is punched in contiguous columns in the punched cards representing that block.

Although PDSE directories do not contain blocks, they will be printed or punched in the same format as the directory of a partitioned data set.
