Are the SYSU and SYS1 high level qualifiers in the same catalog? If not, then you could have attempts to locate the data set going to the SYS1 catalog and failing to locate the data set because ALTER NEWNAME on a VSAM non-SMS data set will keep the entry in the source catalog (which would be the SYSU catalog). Assuming you knew to check in advance which volume the data set was on, go to ISPF 3.4 and look on that volume instead of going through the catalog. If the data set is there with the new HLQ, then you'll need to uncatalog the old name and catalog the new name to get the catalog back in sync.
Issues like this are why the response on this forum so often is to contact your site support group -- they know about the catalog structure for your site.
