Sorry If i am posting this query in wrong forum.

Hi, I have a PDS with LREL 80 and of type FIXED.

I don't know how it happened, but happned...the lenght has been changed to 121 and Record Format FBA.

Because of this, i couldn't open my members in the PDS.
Could anybody tell me how it happened?
Is there a way to recover my PDS??

Thanks,
~Vamsi

Hi vamsi !

Try copying that file to a other new file with your old specifications with
TSO 3.3. option.

How it happened? That's what you have to investigate.

regards, UmeySan

What do you mean by " i couldn't open my members in the PDS"? Do you get a (error) message?

Hi UMEYSEN,
I tried to copy..but i got an I.O error message. I couldn't copy any of the members.

Ofer,

I was getting an IO error messge while tring to open the member or coping a member from 3.3 option.

I couldn't find a reason...why it happened.

Usually i don't do any experiments with this PDS. It contains all my personal JCLs.
