Problem Note 3094: The KEEP= option on the data set specified in the OPEN function may
cause an abend on DATALISTC/N function
If you specify the KEEP= data set option on the OPEN function within SAS
Component Language (SCL) for a data set that has several thousand
variables and then use that data set on the DATALISTC/N function, you
may receive a read access violation in task AF or a segmentation
violation when this selection list window is displayed.
To circumvent the problem, specify the KEEP= data set option on the COPY
function to make a temporary data set that only contains the variables
you want to keep and then specify the new data set for the DATALISTC/N
function.
You may receive a similar abend if you specify the KEEP= data set option
on the _setDataset method for a Data Form or Data Table object within a
SAS/AF FRAME entry. To circumvent this problem, remove the KEEP= option
from _setDataset.
