Problem Note 18354: NRLS option required on INFILE statement to access VSAM RLS file in
non-RLS mode
VSAM RLS (record level sharing) is an access option for VSAM data
sets that provides multi-system sharing of VSAM data sets. The NRLS
option for the INFILE statement is required in SAS 9 to read a
VSAM RLS file in non-RLS mode. In previous releases of the SAS System,
the default was non-RLS. The default in SAS 9 and beyond is RLS.
The following error message will be generated in the SAS Log if NRLS
is not specified on the INFILE statement when accessing a VSAM RLS file
in non-RLS mode:
+ERROR: VSAM open failure, reason code = 327 (decimal).
ERROR: For fileref XXXXX, unable to open ACB, rc = 16 (decimal),
reason code = 195 (decimal).
A global RLS/NRLS option will be added to the SAS System in a future
release.
