John, good idea to do this, but you've got a couple of fields with wrong
descriptions, if not wrong names.  Pos 1-10 (your P1PGM) is the main-procedure
name (if NOMAIN, the name the main procedure WOULD be, i.e. the module name at
compile time).  Pos 334-343 is the program name (your P1PROC).

You're missing the module name in positions 344-353 and the current user-profile
name in positions 358-367.   (The job/user/num user-profile field in pos 254-263
stays the same even if you switched user profiles before the program ran).

Warning: Filling up the entire PSDS can be costly at initialization time - some
of the information is costly to calculate.  If you don't need all the fields at
the end of the ds, it might be a good idea to have some smaller versions of the
PSDS (maybe using logical files?).
