In problem is not urgent, the PDSE is not used anymore and is not causing problems in this situation. I am waiting for IBM to see what information they need and I don't want to wipe it out by trying things. An IPL is scheduled in 2 weeks, so that should be enough for them to gather all the information they need. This morning I discovered another PDSE with the same problem. There might be a relation between the two in the way they were manipulated in the past weeks. Very interesting.
