Problem Note 32983: Invalid results occur when you use the DOWNLOAD procedure with the V6TRANSPORT option in SAS® 9.1.3 in the z/OS environment
Under z/OS, the following code returns invalid results in SAS 9.1.3 Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4.
signon hostname.spawner user=_prompt_;
rsubmit;
proc sql;
create view test as
select name as Name1, name as Name2
from sashelp.class;
run;
quit;
endrsubmit;
rsubmit;
proc download data=test v6transport;
run;
endrsubmit;
proc print data=test;
run;
The variables Name1 and Name2 that are displayed by the PRINT procedure should have the same value. However, they do not, as shown in the following output:
The SAS System 16:01 Monday, May 19, 2008 1
Obs Name1 Name2

2 Alice 2
3 Barbara 2
4 Carol 2
