A CATINDEX was accidentally deleted from a non-SMS volume. Surprisingly (to me) datasets cat'd in the related catalog can still be accessed. New vsam/nvsam datasets can be cat'd/deleted w/o apparent problems. DIAGNOSEs against the catalog get OPEN errors; yet EXAMINE DTEST of datasets cat'd in the catalog are clean. The VVDS is not happy, but vsam datasets on the volume pass DTEST (but not DIAG VVDS COMPAREDD -- "REASON: 31 - OPEN OF COMPARE DATA SET FAILED". I don't see a REBUILDCATINDEX parameter anywhere. I haven't tried EXPORT/IMPORT to a new cat, del/redef bad cat, then back to the redef'd cat. Will that work? Is there something else I can do? Any help appreciated, Jeff
