Lizette,
   
  I checked the dsn is a PDS.  That's why I have been honing on to type 14,15, 
& 17.

  I had a similar issue with a deleted dataset.

Turned out I had to go back 3 weeks to find the job that had deleted it. I knew 
it was a nonvsam data set so I just scanned the 14, 15, 17, 18 records. The 60 
records are needed if it is VSAM.

What happened was a batch job had failed to code the JCL properly. Had a blank 
after the data set name and before the DISP parm.

//STEPLIB DD DSN=prod.data.set.name ,DISP=SHR

When this job ended the data set will be deleted as soon as the other enqueues 
against it were gone. This took 3 weeks (this was an IMS RESLIB data set).

Next thing we knew, IMS would not come up because this file had been deleted.


So, have you gone far enough back in the SMF data to find the culprit.
