Problem Note 8166: Abend in FSVIEW when saving a data set with integrity constraint

DetailsAboutRate It
If you attempt to create a new data set in the FSVIEW window via the
CREATE command or the File -> Save as pmenu selection, you may
experience an abend if the data set currently displayed in the FSVIEW
window was opened with the DROP= data set option and contains integrity
constraints. In the SAS Log, you will see one or more of the following
error messages:

   ERROR: System abend 0C4 occurred in function FVVLST
   ERROR: Traceback will be attempted ...
   ERROR: Delete current task.

   ERROR: Read Access Violation in Task ( FSVIEW )
   Exception occurred at (some-address)
   Task Traceback

If you are running SAS in the Microsoft Windows environment, you can
circumvent this problem by using the VIEWTABLE window instead of the
FSVIEW window to create the new data set. To display a subset of
columns from a data set in the VIEWTABLE window, use the VIEWTABLE
command as follows:

   vt mylib.icdata(drop=column2)

where MYLIB.ICDATA is the 2-level name of the data set with integrity
constraints and COLUMN2 is the column that will not be displayed in the
VIEWTABLE window.  Within the VIEWTABLE window, the File pull-down menu
has a Save as selection.
