You can run it in batch like this: //TSO EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //* STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN= load library where PDS is //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * PDS ' put bad pds here ' VERIFY : This command with the : says to read all members and list the bad ones. END // I'm not sure what you'll get if the dataset looks like a flat file if the directory was written over, but it may tell you something. If any members can be read, it will tell you which ones are the bad ones and you can then create an IEBCOPY job with an Exclude for all the bad members and copy the good members to a new dataset..
