If you take a physical dump of the dataset and send it into IBM for analysis they might be able to get to the root cause. Assuming you're on zOS 1.13 or higher did you execute IEBPDSE against the restored dataset to verify its structure?

AFAIK it should have a very low probability. This due to that those that can access from outside of the Sysplex (special sysprogs) have neither reason or interest of doing that. And this is 3.00 AM here. (At least the operator I spoke to had no knowledge of anyone else that me working at this time.)

I have restored a backup from yesterday now so the immediate problem is solved. (And saved the corrupted PDSE in case anyone except me is interested.)

Could it have been shared(R/W) outside of a sysplex boundary?

Got a corrupt PDSE. Will throw the problem at some of the responsible sysprogs. But in the meantime I wonder if any of the esteem members of this list can give some hints leading to the cause.

Got this when tying a browse from ISPF 3.4 (linecmd B):

The dataset is a Fault Analyzer dump pdse. Is populated from productions abends (in another system - same Sysplex). Was browsing from the dev system. We have 7 other similar datasets, all populated from the prod system and mostly viewed from the dev system. First time for me of a corrupt PDSE causing an abend like this.
