Are you using SYS1.BRODCAST or individual BRODAST datasets? I might recommend you use individual BRODCAST datasets (see IKJTSOxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB). That way it would only impact one user rather than many. See if you can browse the dataset. If you can then it might not completely broken Go to CBTTAPE.ORG and download the file 247 Broadcast Manager Utilities to manage SYS1.BRODCAST Without any additional messages it might be that you need to clean up your BROADCAST dataset.
