16206 - Abend System 0C4 in SASDSX function DSEGNAM

Problem Note 16206: Abend System 0C4 in SASDSX function DSEGNAM

If you receive the following error in your SAS^® Log following the execution of a DATA Step:

ERROR: System abend 0C4 occurred in module SASDSX function DSEGNAM

Though this message does identify an offset, offsets can vary depending on levels of SAS, Service Packs, or HotFix levels.

A circumvention can be to specify the NOCODEGEN option. To limit the impact of specifying NOCODEGEN globally, specify NOCODEGEN on an options statement prior to the offending DATA Step. Then, turn on CODEGEN following the DATA Step.

For example:

OPTIONS NOCODEGEN; DATA step; * data step code; RUN; OPTIONS CODEGEN;

It is important that a RUN; statement be coded to properly denote the step boundary. Without the RUN;, CODEGEN would still be in effect.

Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
