SAS DATA SET WITH PREMATURE ZERO LENGTH (EOF) RECORDS ARE NOT PROCESSED BY DMS, DSN = (ddd). ZERO LENGTH RECORD OCCURRED JUST AFTER RELATIVE TTR = (ttr , LAST USED BLOCK (DS1LSTAR) = (ttr SAS UTILITY "PROC COPY" SHOULD BE USED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION.

Reason:

CADisk processing logic has found a data set (ddd) it believes was created by the SAS package produced by the SAS Institute, Inc. CADisk has also detected an end-of-file record after (ttr1) where it was expected to occur only after (ttr2).

If the TT portions of the two TTRs are different and if CADisk processing of the data set continues, a loss of data will occur. The data set is bypassed. Copy the data set with the SAS procedure COPY utility to a new name, delete the original data set and rename the copy to the old name. CADisk can then process it again.

If the TT portions of the two TTRs are identical, it is less likely that data will be lost. However, the data set is still bypassed. Copy the data set with the SAS procedure COPY utility to a new name, delete the original data set and rename the copy to the old name. CADisk can then process the data set.

Reference: SAS tracking number 71806 and CADisk PMR number 4439.
