Anyone have any experience with having damaged IBM cross reference

The system database cross-reference feature implemented as system jobs QDBSRVXR and QDBSRVXR2 must be functional for a RCLSTG [that includes the *DBXREF] to be successful. Also pending database operations that can not be completed without an IPL will not be completed with RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF), but would be dismissed [if not actually corrected] by RCLSTG SELECT(*ALL).

Thus any *functional* errors with the database XREF need to corrected prior to attempting to correct any data [often referred to as "damage"] errors. Otherwise a RCLSTG request which includes the *DBXREF will simply enqueue a bunch of work pending correction of the functional issue; on some releases and\or systems, the queue may fill and "hang" the request because the job filling the queue must wait until the queue is no longer full... thus a "catch 22" situation.
