I don't have the paper patch any more, but IBM software support should be
able to walk you through zeroing out the header for the library via the
service tools. I did it many times when I was on that end of the phone. The
library will continue to claim space until you RCLSTG, but you've indicated
it's a small library so the space may not be an issue.

Subject: Corrupted object. HELP!!


This story is almost funny.

I was restoring the test data today from live. So I take last nights backup
to restore. I first delete the old library then restore the new one. Okay,
well, it shouldn't take 3 hours to restore. I starting digging around and
discovered a Tape drive failure. Great... so I cancel the job and end and
restart the tape drive. Now I need to delete the library again. No
problem... well... it was taking 45 mins to delete about 20 objects (size I
am not sure but looked to be work files, they should be small). Hmmm...
great. So I cancel the job and try again... locks up my workstation. After a
bit more digging with a co-worker of mine we discover that it is corrupt.
Just great... We tried to rename the library, but now

So this is where we are at. We have to IPL to complete the library name
change and need to reclaim storage to recover the file.

Does anyone know how to take care of the file without doing these things?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Mike
