PDS is also known as folder, in disp parameter

disp=(cyl,(10,10,10),rlse)

first 10 =primary memory

second 10= secondary memory 

third 10 =memory used to make pds.

if this 10 or any value is not present then a ps will be formed instead of pds

It is absolutely necessary to add 'directory' subparameter to SPACE=(TRK,(20,20,50)...)

To be completely accurate we also need to add subparameter DCB=(DSORG=PO,...)

It is not DISP, but SPACE parameter!

In SPACE parameter coding directory block subparameter or in DCB parameter the DSORG=PO subparameter.

using IEFBR14 we can create pds with jcl.
//TZZZ84R  JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID,MSGCLASS=X                    
//STEP01    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                                 
//DD1       DD DSN=TKOL084.DEMO,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),           
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80,DSORG=PO),  
//             SPACE=(TRK,(10,10,3),RLSE),                       
//             UNIT=SYSDA

It will not work, because space is TRK

PDS has absolutely nothing to do with folder. Those two are the terms from different worlds: mainframe vs. Windows/Unix/Android

IEFBR14 is used to create PS file.
IEBCOPY is used to create PDS file.
Example:
//JOB statement
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//DD1 DD DSN=,DISP=SHR
//DD2 DD DSN=,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=DD1,OUTDD=DD2
SELECT MEMBER=(Mem1, Mem8)

//
