Problem Note 34983: Specifying FIRSTOBS= option with FILESTAT system option might return incorrect results
 |  |  |  |
The FIRSTOBS= option might produce incorrect results if it is used with the SAS system option FILESTAT when processing a member of a partitioned data set (PDS) in the z/OS operating environment. The FILESTAT option is specific to the z/OS environment.
To circumvent this problem, specify the NOFILESTAT option, or use a PDS that has a logical record length (LRECL) of 80 and blocksize (BLKSIZE) of 6160.
A fix for this problem is being considered for a future software release.
