Thanks for the help. I think it was corrupted with a compress share operation or two people/jobs doing a copy. this could of happened any number of times since there are so many members that have been damaged.
I am not able to compress or copy it. I am having trouble using superc to locate the good members. I'll Try the PDS command with Verify, after I get it downloaded and installed. Thanks again.

I had a PDS get reblocked a few weeks ago and that essentially corrupted the PDS. If you have some members corrupted and some not, this might be the same issue. IEBCOPY it to a NEW PDS using DCB parameters with larger block sizes on both input and output and see if you recover the bad ones. You might have to keep trying multiples of LRECL to get a combination that works 100%. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html The sender believes that this E-mail and any attachments were free of any virus, worm, Trojan horse, and/or malicious code when sent.
