Usage Note 1137: Various BLKSIZE(device-type) values obsolete
In Version 7 of the SAS System and beyond, specifying the BLKSIZE
(device-type) option with a device-type value of TAPE, 3590, 3480 or
6250 causes the following message to be written to the SAS Log:
WARNING 31-12: The SAS option BLKSIZE(xxxx) is obsolete.
(where xxxx is one of the above device-types)
BLKSIZE(TAPE), BLKSIZE(3590), BLKSIZE(3480), BLKSIZE(6250) are all
obsolete in Version 7, since these values did not have any meaning in
Version 6.
If you are using MXG, this message is printed because you are not using
the correct CONFIGV8 member for your CONFIG parameter. (The old CONFIG,
CONFIG06, CONFIG07, CONFIG08, CONFIGT8, CONFIGTS were all for SAS
Version 6 and contained those options).
