Hi,  If you have PDS85 or PDS86 utility from the CBT tape - it can repair the 
file.  What does 3.4 show for all the dcb values?

I tried it but when I try the copy command it gives me the I/O error.  Thanks 
for your suggestion.

Create a new larger pds.  Use ISPF option 3.3 to copy any members... one at a 
time... as you can.  That should save some PRINT the data set and that may show 
you "some parts" of the missing members in a flat file Finally try to compress 
it.  Compress may save it... or totally destroy it. 
So, exactly WHY are you not backing this thing up ?  Naughty boy.

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

When I try to browse a member of  my pds I get a I/O error.  I tried browsing 
several members but I get the same error message.  Is there a way of fixing 
it?  For some reason the storage group is NOT backed up so I cannot restore it 
from an old backup.  I recovered the PDS from a DFHSM backup but when I try to 
browse any members I still get the I/O error.  Is there a work around to this 
problem or should I consider it lost?

Thanks.
