Problem Note 2465: Error attempting to create DATA step view from VSAM file on CMS
In Version 8 of the SAS System on CMS, an attempt to create a DATA
step view from a VSAM file generates the following error in the SAS
Log:
ERROR: The DATA step contains host-specific INFILE/FILE options that
cannot be used with stored programs.
The error is referring to the VSAM option, which became mandatory on
the INFILE statement with Version 8 (see SAS Note #001642 ).
This problem is fixed in Release 8.1 TSLEVEL 1M0, where the VSAM
option is properly accepted as valid.
