Hello,

I executed the proc dataset repair and rebuild statement but the table is still damaged and in the log appear a warning message: WARNING: End of file. What can I Do?

When repair does not work, IMO you will either have to rerun the code that created the dataset in the first place, or restore it from your backup. With good backup/archive software, the latter is usually best.

Go to your work library, find the path, right click it and select properties.

Go to that folder and then navigate a level up. You should see the left overs from your previous process which may have the partial data sets needed to help you out. I doubt you'll be able to fix that file itself, but maybe this helps a bit.
