Jags, Is there a chance that someone has written directly to the PDS without specifying a member name?
I recall past posts have mentioned that this will corrupt a PDS. A scan of your Type 14/15 SMF records may identify the culprit.

When he tries to allocate a member within the dataset : TPUN011.NEWMAPST(map), he gets a message as "BLDL error" I tried searching some error related to PDF as starting with ISRxxxx but I was not able to fetch any error codes relating to "BLDL" Error in the syslog. IBM manual has various explanation for BLDL or I/O processing error, but for the above I am unable to pin-point the exact cause. Looking at the above dataset attribute, I can see a "*" symbol beside Maximum dir. blocks and Used dir. blocks . : 0, but i am unable to interpret the exact cause. Could anyone please suggest me your comment on query.
