Are the stats now correct?
If by statistics, you mean those things listed under STATISTICS in a
LISTCAT
STATISTICS
REC-TOTAL--------------6 SPLITS-CI--------------0
EXCPS-----------------10 REC-DELETED------------3
SPLITS-CA--------------0 EXTENTS----------------1
REC-INSERTED-----------7 FREESPACE-%CI----------0
SYSTEM-TIMESTAMP: REC-UPDATED------------0
FREESPACE-%CA----------0 X'BC34491B1E5CB160'
REC-RETRIEVED---------15 FREESPC-----------733184
the answer is probably no. These numbers are updated at the time of a
good CLOSE and the updates are lost on an ABEND CLOSE or system
failure. I don't believe that checkpoint saves the VSAM control
blocks (AMDSB, I think) with this info.

Bruce,
Hmmm...I would think yes as IBM keeps said that they reason they can't
clean up properly is that the vsam control blocks are in key 8 (user
storage). Checkpoint restart should (at least I think it should) put
the control blocks back as the job needs to continue.
IBM, anyone?
