Problem Note 32421: Reading VSAM RLS file results in zero records read

Rate It

If you read a VSAM RLS (record level sharing) file with has a key that is less than four bytes in length, zero records will be read. The following note will be generated in the SAS Log:

NOTE: 0 records were read from the infile (system-specific pathname).

To circumvent this problem, allocate the VSAM data set in non-RLS mode by adding the NRLS option on the INFILE statement.

A fix for this problem is being considered for a future software release.
