You may see the following error on your SAS log when you attempt to read a tape file with a blocksize greater than 32760:
ERROR: OPEN FAILED FOR FILE fileref: SYSTEM ERROR 013-0E1
OS/390 R2.10 and later and all releases of z/OS support large blocksize for tape files. The SAS system option FILELBI is available in SAS® 9.2 TS1M0 and later. This option allows SAS to use the z/OS Large Block Interface support for BSAM and QSAM files, as well as files on tapes that have standard labels.
To circumvent this problem in releases earlier than SAS 9.2 TS1M0, reblock the data set using the IEBGENER utility. If you copy the data set using IEBGENER and the new data set has a blocksize of 32K or less, SAS might be able to process it successfully assuming that the data remains in a valid format after reblocking.
