in general You cannot do it,
You will ask Your storage support hoe to recover form a backup ( of the whole PDS ) if one exixts!

enrico-sorichetti's method will often work, but ...

Many sites have programs than can "undelete" members. These programs cannot recover member names; the names they assign seem random. For example -
In this case, member $$000004 has been recovered, but its ISPF attributes have disappeared. However, you can browse or edit the member, and use its contents to recover the member name.

Load modules are more difficult.You can browse the member, but it may not be very helpful.You can relink the member, but you have to examine the relinked member carefully to verify it's been linked correctly.(There should be a blank before the INCLUDE and NAME statements, but the board deleted it.)

The entry point may be incorrect. Sometimes it cannot be recovered! Other load module attributes are lost. The Binder will write other error messages.
