Allan,

I got a sneaking suspicion I'll be doing the "fuggiddabaddit" rather than 
spending a bunch of time on it - and if it happens again I'll be taking it to 
IBM.  The "average key length:  0.0" is the same output I get on the working 
repro'd copy.  I was just wondering if anybody had seen something like this 
before.

Thanks,

Rex

"AVERAGE KEY LENGTH:     0.0   "

This looks suspicious, but is not supported by any of the other doc you have 
supplied.

The listcat shows a KEYLEN of 30, not zero.

You might try a print of the INDEX component and see if it shows anything, 
otherwise, I am at a loss.
If it really gives you that much heartburn, open a PMR w/IBM and see what they 
say. 
Otherwise, just use the repro'd copy and fagadabaddit <G>

We have a VSAM KSDS with 1 record in it that is causing us some heartburn.  I 
was able to create a new dataset and REPRO this one into the new one 
successfully, and the new dataset works fine, but I'd like to know what may be 
causing the original to be having problems - and possibly how to fix it.  It is 
not open to any online regions, but is used by batch.  A LISTC of the dataset 
shows bogus statistics - even after running a VERIFY against it (which came 
back clean, RC=0).  I ran an EXAMINE against it and got no errors:
