SAS BSAM (Basic Sequential Access Method) processing causes for SMF record types 14 and 15 records to reflect the current date as the creation date in the record. This is seen only in the SMF record type 14 and 15 records and does not change the actual creation date reflected for the data set in other locations, such as the VTOC DSCB (the volume table of contents Data Set Control Block).

Example

If the following code were run, type 14 and 15 SMF records would contain the current date as the creation date:

//MYDATA DD DISP=SHR,DSN=userid.TEST.DATA
//SYSIN  DD *
 DATA _NULL_;
  INFILE MYDATA;
   INPUT;
  PUT _INFILE_;
 RUN;
