One other thought I had, run a DCOLLECT against the volume PROD06 and see if
there are any errors.

Also run a DIAGNOSE and EXAMINE against the VVDS, CATALOG both and
individually.  There might be some old stuff you could do an IDCAMS DEL on
and get space back.

Review the REDBOOK http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4212.pdf
ICF Catalog Backup and Recovery: Catalog RecoveryPlus Update
ICF catalogs are essential system data sets. Even with the high availability
storage subsystems and processors that are available today, there are still
situations where you need to recover your catalogs. You should keep your
catalogs healthy and be prepared for a recovery situation. Also, you must be
sure that your recovery procedures do not have a big impact on your
production environment. To minimize the recovery process, you should have a
clear backup and recovery strategy and the proper utilities.  IBMR
Integrated Catalog Forward Recovery Utility (ICFRU) and Mainstar Catalog
RecoveryPlus (CR+) are two of the available tools you can use to recover
your catalogs.  ICFRU is a basic tool to help you in a forward recovery
situation. It does not offer a wide range of features, but it is useful for
catalog recovery. Mainstar Catalog RecoveryPlus offers a set of features to
help you with your ICF catalog environment maintenance.

This IBM Redpaper explains how to use each of these products in a catalog
recovery situation. It also offers storage administrators useful
recommendations for implementing a catalog backup and recovery plan. It does
not compare the two products but instead shows how each of them work. This
paper also provides practical tests and examples that can help you with the
different error scenarios that you might find in your daily production
activities.

It documents tools for taking care of catalogs and VVDS datasets.  If you do
not have the Mainstar product Catalog Recovery Plus (CR+) then ignore
chapter 2.

The CASE STUDIES will help in working with BCS and VVDS tools.
