Problem Note 4555: Subsequent records not read after invalid VBS segment detected
Beginning in Version 7, the SAS System does not read subsequent
records after detecting an invalid VBS segment. The SAS Log contains
the following is the ERROR message.
ERROR: For file XXXXX invalid VBS segment detected. Processing is
continuing to the next record.
ERROR: Undetermined I/O failure.
FATAL: Unrecoverable I/O error detected in the execution of the data
step program. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase.
The correct behavior is to continue processing to the next record
after detecting the invalid VBS segment, issue a WARNING message in
the SAS Log, and end with a step condition code 4 rather than 0.
However in Release 8.1 and 8.2 if the hotfix is applied the expected
behavior is to issue a RC=0 for the job step and also in the SASLOG
issue the following message
ERROR: For file A1, invalid VBS segment detected. Processing is
continuing to the next record.
