Resolution

Run IDCAM LISTCAT to confirm the VSAM definitions are correct for the file. If they are correct and there are no other problems noted in the LISTCAT,  confirm there are no third party VSAM utilities in use. Only CA LSERV  is certified for use under Endevor. Exclude Endevor VSAM files from any other VSAM utility (ex. Startool, VELOCI-Raptor).
