Barry,
The STORAGE GROUP was backed up via HSM, what I didn't say correctly that the
volume was not backed up (full dump).
When I am able to do a browse of the dsn, all the members are displayed
correctly, however when I browse each member I get the following :
I/O error
When I press F1 for more info I get the following:
An I/O error was encountered reading the first record requested.
The DCB of the PDS is as follows, however I cannot be sure if it is correct
since this PDS was inherited from a client
Organization . . . : PO
Record format . . . : FBA
Record length . . . : 133
Block size . . . . : 133
1st extent cylinders: 5
Secondary cylinders : 2
Data set name type : PDS
----------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------------
This looks very much like some program had its SYSPRINT directed to a
member of this PDS, altering the DCB attributes in the process. You'll
just have to experiment to find the correct attributes, but I'd find the
one member that's readable and move it out to another dataset of FBA/133
format and delete it from this *altered* PDS before doing anything. I
think that as a starting point, I'd try a BLKSIZE that's as close to a
half-track as I could get with this same lrecl value.
