Re: VTOC trashed?
I would agree. Get off that pack ASAP. I saw something like that when some ICKDSF function was performed from one LPAR while being online to another. Varying the unit offline to *all* LPARs and then back online seemed to fix the problem for us. Another possibility is that volume is not protected by GRS or equivalent. Corruption (to include a VTOC) is to be expected. Yet another is a DFDSS volume restore while being online to any LPAR.

Re: VTOC trashed?
Mike Mention of a trashed VTOC always reminds me of two events from my past: 1) One volume I - and some colleagues - were working on had accumulated a large number of temporary data sets. The smart one in the group said I can easily fix that, here's - after a burst of work on the 029[1] - the utility to do it. Once the utility had run we had a very *very* clean volume. I - yes, I was the naively smart one - had too quickly keyed up a SCRATCH VTOC,VOL=2314=whtevr,SYS card for my IEHPROGM cards. The too quickly means that the comma before SYS got missed out. Ever since I made sure always to place the SYS at the beginning of the parameter list for this function. Fortunately it was possible to rebuild the volume from tape - slowly. Unfortunately one of my colleagues was of Scottish origin and it was New Year's Eve and he had pressing plans to be somewhere other than a machine room. 2) A volume I was working with had been restored from tape and, strangely, the VTOC did not restore. (Maybe other parts also did not restore but - as was discovered eventually - all that was really needed did.) Fortunately again, in this case, the guy responsible had brought a VTOC listing. After much 029 work, using techniques I have long forgotten but which at the time I knew about, I had recreated the VTOC on the volume from the listing - and it worked. The unfortunate part here is that the volume had been created under DOS (now VSE) and the data set names were - how shall I put this? - highly informative as DOS names traditionally were, restricted only by the 44 character limit. Thus the 029 work was greatly extended.

Re: VTOC trashed
The VVDS is unique among VSAM files in that it does not have to be cataloged, and it can be cataloged in multiple catalogs (every catalog that references datasets on the volume). So the fact that it is not in the master catalog (which is where your LISTCAT would look) is not an error. The VVDS is in the LISTVTOC so it is fine. Does ISPF still show the error? -- Bruce A.
