If you run Base^® SAS software under z/OS V1R10 when you use virtual I/O (especially for SAS WORK libraries), the following physical I/O error and out-of-extent message might occur:

ERROR:  Physical I/O error on SAS data library
        SYS08295.T173608.RA000.LEKING.R0169876 on volume
        LEKING  ,LOGON   ,VIO ,D,WORK    ,**- OP,
        OUT OF EXTENT  ,00000001000001,EXCP
IEC214I 614-08,IFG0200Y,LEKING,LOGON,WORK,VIO ,      ,SYS08296.T101121.RA000.LEKING.R0123429

If the total amount of space that you allocate for a virtual I/O data set exceeds 65535 tracks or 4369 cylinders, the system constructs an incorrect z/OS internal control block that is associated with opening the data set. This z/OS internal control block causes I/O errors when you attempt to write to the data set.

You can use the following formula to calculate the total amount of space that you have allocated:

An error message similar to the following might occur when you use the IEBGENER program:

IEB351I I/O ERROR ,IEBG028 ,STEP01  ,VIO ,D,SYSUT2  ,WRITE ,OUT OF EXTENT  ,00000001000000,BSAM
IEC214I 614-08,IFG0200Y,IEBG028,STEP01,SYSUT2,VIO ,      ,SYS08296.T131503.RA000.IEBG028.TEMP.H01

If you encounter either error, contact IBM and ask for APAR OA26913 to correct the problem.
