Exactly. It is probably the syntax BUILDIX OSVTOC PURGE that caused consternation because it could be read as going to purge the OSVTOC, but its all under the BUILDIX command so it means change the volume access to VTOC only and PURGE the IXVTOC which would be necessary if the IX is corrupted at the VSAM level. Will be needed to increase the size of the IX.
It may all be a red herring, though, because I have not seen a complete analysis of what the LSPACE return code means. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Wednesday, 4 January 2023 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] ICKDSF CVOL is a red herring; it's the catalog before VSAM. Naively I would say BUILDIX OSVTOC BUILDIX IXVTOC or BUILDIX OSVTOC PURGE BUILDIX IXVTOC is all you need. There was some language in the manual that I thought raised concern for a corrupted index, but I believ that I misread it. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Then run an ICKDSF BUILDIX INDXVTOC to rebuild a new one. If you have access to the ICKDSF manual, it's under the BUILDIX section of the manual.
