Usage Note 45793: Processing concatenated files that include a missing member causes your SAS® session to fail (or abend) with a 0C4 error

DetailsAboutRate It

When you run version 1.13 of the z/OS operating system, your SAS session might end abnormally and issue a system 0C4 error (or abend) code. This problem occurs when processing a file concatenation if that concatenation includes a missing member.

For example, the following program should concatenate two files, but if one of the two data sets, file2.test.src, does not exist, SAS will end abnormally with a system 0C4 error. This scenario should cause an error message instead of the system 0C4.
filename test ('file1.test.src' 'file2.test.src'); 
%inc test; 
If you encounter this problem, contact IBM to request PTF UA62685.
