The 0148 is the DADSM allocate return code. From the manual, that means that there are "overlapping extents". Or, basically, that the VTOC has some corruption in because one or more tracks are allocated to more than one dataset. The safe thing to do is to use DFDSS to copy and recatalog all the datasets to another pack, then reinitialize the pack. If you do this, you should have somebody examine the data in the datasets copied because you likely have a corrupted datasets somewhere. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from?
