V6-SYS.SASIO-D256 Errors/crashes may occur updating catalog entries from SASHELP library

Errors may be received, or SAS may abnormally terminate, when attempting to update a catalog entry that was originally stored in the SASHELP library. The problems are due to an underlying catalog I/O problem that was intended to save space in the SASHELP library. However, if a catalog in SASHELP is updated, or if the catalog was copied from SASHELP to another library and the copy was subsequently updated, a variety of error messages may be received. In certain situations, SAS may also abnormally terminate.

This problem is fixed in TS455 of Release 6.09E for MVS, VMS and CMS, TS040 of Release 6.12 for the MAC and OSF/AXP, and TS045 of Release 6.12 for remaining operating systems.
