Chuck,
Is there a way for me to see the queue that you reference below?

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.
