Go to the CBTTAPE.ORG and get the PDS utility. It has a recovery process. Or if you know the original attributes, use IEBGENER to write a new Member //S1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT1 DD * Dummy record /* //SYSUT2 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=broken.pds(@#$Dmy),LRECL=x,BLKSIZE=X,DSORG=PO,RECFM=FB You really do need both the LRECL and BLKSIZE for this to be successful. I have used this, but it is at your own risk. If you have a backup of the file, I would go back to it an re apply changes Even in a Sandbox, I use HSM to back up critical files. It is better to be safe than sorry later.
