Hello, It took me a while to get back to the discussion.
In order to convince «the world» (incl. myself) that I'm not crazy, and since nobody seemed to be able to recreate the problem, I freshly re-installed z/OS V2R1 (based on the ADLT tapes created June 26th, 2014) in an isolated test LPAR (no shared DASD, no PLEX in any shape, form or fashion). I did all the necessary customization for our environment, but I did *not* install any PTFs - none. At this originally delivered service level, with HDZ2210 at UA70793, the problem does *NOT* occur. I then upgraded HDZ2210 to service level UA74516, and there's the problem: corrupted PDSE after a copy operation (IEBCOPY). I did not have (and I will not have) the time to check step-by-step as to when exactly the error was introduced, but it was somewhere between HDZ2210 at UA70793 and HDZ2210 at UA74516. Thanks again, everybody, for your comments, remarks, and support so far.

The PDSEs are shared only within a sysplex? All the DASD volumes are defined as shared if actually shared? CLPA IPL after the latest service was installed to the system? Channel paths connected where they're supposed to be? etc.? Assuming all things of that ilk are well, I think it's PMR time... -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
