See Appendix "Interpreting LISTCAT Output Listings" in "DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs":
The statistics in the catalog are updated when the data set is closed. Therefore, if an error occurs during CLOSE, the statistics might not be valid. If the data set has not been properly closed, the statistics are not updated and will therefore be incorrect. Once the data set is properly closed after a previous close failure, a LISTCAT of the data set will show these statistics as invalid. VERIFY cannot correct these statistics. To correct these statistics, you can either use the EXPORT and IMPORT commands or you can REPRO the data set to a new data set. When using compressed VSAM data sets, REPRO should specify the REPLACE option to ensure that the correct statistics are calculated.
