Do you have a backup, do you have HSM (or another ILM software)

if the PDS is a PDS, not a PDSE
and the dataset has not been compressed

You might find tools to resurrect dead members on

Do you mean that you have taken no backups, or that HSM or whatever does not back up the datasets ?

try
Code:

  HLIST LEVEL(pds name)  ODS('your uid.some.thing.else')

Then take a peek-a-boo in the dataset specified by 'your uid.some.thing.else'
