Usage Note 34071: An error might occur if you insert "DSNTYPE=LARGE" into a DD JCL statement for a SAS library

DetailsAboutRate It

An error might occur if you specify the following code on a DD JCL statement for a SAS library:

DSNTYPE=LARGE

The error message will be similar to the following, where libname is the DDname in the JCL DD card with the DSNTYPE=LARGE option:

ERROR: OPEN TYPE=J failed to position library data set
       libname.xxxxxxxxx.DATA to volume number 1.

If this error occurs, ensure that you have applied the hot fix that is associated with SAS Note 17038.

In SAS 9.2, DSNTYPE=LARGE is fully supported.
