Hello folks,

 

I am trying to update a VSAM file, however I am getting the error below:

 

ERROR: Record not found, or the RBA is not found in the buffer pool.
ERROR: VSAM (GET) logical I/O error occurred on fileref DIREICL, rc = 8 (decimal), feedback code = 16 (decimal).
ERROR: Undetermined I/O failure.
FATAL: Unrecoverable I/O error detected in the execution of the DATA step program. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase.

 

Can anyone help me? I think this error is related to the VSAM file key (KSDS), but I am not sure. Is there any way for me to check the position of the columns in the VSAM file?

 

Thanks everyone!

I'd suggest opening a Tech Support track for this. AFAIK, there are very few mainframe SAS users active in the Community and its so many years since I last had anything to do with VSAM files.

 

You should post your complete SAS log of the step producing these errors though. Without your source code we have no idea how to help.
