Problem Note 13514: Errors when reading a Version 6 sequential data library that is sorted by more than ten variables
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS 9, attempting to read a Version 6 SAS data set in sequential format which is sorted by more than ten variables may cause the SAS System to generate errors. Some errors that may be displayed are: ERROR: The format Õ was not found or could not be loaded. ERROR: The format ÕOEA was not found or could not be loaded. ERROR: The format Õ :¦ :ö was not found or could not be loaded. These errors are not always specific to formats and are displayed because of compatibility changes that were made to the Version 6 TAPE sequential engine that currently ships with SAS 9. Note that unlike similar errors reported in #012437 , the sequential SAS data set is not corrupted and can be read with previous versions of the SAS System. --------------- A Technical Support hot fix for SAS 9.1 (TS1M0) for this issue is available at: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/b9_sbcs_prod_list.html#013514 For customers running SAS with Asian Language Support (DBCS), this hot fix should be downloaded from: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/b9_dbcs_prod_list.html#013514 --------------- A Technical Support hot fix for SAS 9.1.2 (9.1 TS1M2) for this issue is available at: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/c9_sbcs_prod_list.html#013514 For customers running SAS with Asian Language Support (DBCS), this hot fix should be downloaded from: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/c9_dbcs_prod_list.html#013514 --------------- A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/e9_sbcs_prod_list.html#013514 For customers running SAS with Asian Language Support (DBCS), this fix should be downloaded from: http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/e9_dbcs_prod_list.html#013514
