Did you IPL with the >correct LOADxx member? Are the PARMLIB statements in it correct? Good questions which I should have put in the original: - Each PDS that is empty cannot be opened at all. Even trying to create a new member via ISPF gives: I/O error, insufficient virtual storage, or other BLDL error. - Nope, the target system has the sam name datasets except that its only really a system used to build the real target system. There is no cataloging of datasets being done as these are full disk restores - ADMIN was used - Disks are all exactly the same - IPL was done correctly (the source system is sitting next to me so I can check it as I do everything) and the PARMLIB is all correct We're now trying a couple of other things but thanks for all the help.
