You normally don't see this, but this still does not mean it cannot occur. Were the devices really "offline"? The UCB Online, Alloc, Busy etc. indicators are independent bits, that do not have a fixed relationship, however z/OS ensures that things happen in a certain order and so there are combinations of bits that you will probably never see. However, you are in an abnormal situation, so you might see rare combinations now. OLTEP e.g. was one application that allocated an offline device and so the UCB status was really and correctly offline/allocated. Did you try a V xxx,ONLINE as indicated by IOS002A? This should simulate the I/O interrupt the system is waiting for.
