Part of the problem is that MAINT 123 is no longer being seen as a full-pack minidisk. Thus you truly have overlaps with other write links - and the killer is the stable links to minidisks (probably your parm disks) contained within the same extent. You said: MAINT has MDISK 0123 3390 000 10016 540RES MR While the last cylinder on a mod 9 is indeed 10016, the number of cylinders is 10017. That's the advantage to using 000 END as the extents. It's the first thing you need to change when you find a source directory with which you work. I haven't seen it mentioned, but if you have the standard setup, DIRMAINT is creating a flat directory nightly on its 1DB minidisk named USER BACKUP. I would use that for starters. Edit that, fix what needs fixing as others have suggested and file it on the 1DF minidisk as USER INPUT, then erase USER DIRECT on the 1DF. Use DIRECTXA to write a new object directory specifying USER INPUT as its input file. Now bounce your system. When DIRMAINT starts up it will rebuild USER DIRECT correctly from USER INPUT, and you should be back in business.
