I have used SAS many moons ago and I certainly remember this badd-a$$ message related to a bad SMF input... >Is this anything to worry about? Yes, loss of SMF data and angry readers of your SAS reports... ;-) >How can I tell which record it is complaining about? Hard to tell. Use IFASMFDP to copy your SMF records to other dataset. It will only read up to the very last readable record. The rest of the dataset are simply lost. (I think there is a freebie on CBT where you can re-join the parts of the SMF VBS dataset...) Use that copy on your SAS/MXG job.
