According to my uncertain memory, there was a change in PDS directory code between zOS 1.12 and zOS 1.13. This caused PDS directory errors under certain conditions, resulting in corrupted or lost pointers. If the affected member was not referenced, the problem remained hidden. Unfortunately for me, I usually found out when I compressed the PDS. The issue was fixed in 2.1 . I understood that one fix for 1.13 was to restore the old zOS 1.12 PDS code. But I never saw a reference to an APAR or other 'official' fix. Does anyone remember this who could point me in the right direction?
