ERROR: An internal error has occurred while reading a compressed file. Please call your SAS
Site Representative and report the following: compress offset = 2235 , de-compress
offset = 3943 , compress buf = "" .
ERROR: Record in file XYZ.ABC.DATA is too long for buffer.
I tried using bufsize=32768 option but it didn't help.
Call SAS technical support. Your dataset might be damaged.
I have contacted them but they take too much time to respond so I posted here. Any way to determine if the dataset is indeed damaged?
Have you already tried proc datasets repair, as described in http://support.sas.com/techsup/notes/v8/13/873.html?
I will try this and revert back. Thank you.
If dataset is damaged you can try repair it using:
proc datasets with repair statement.
If it fails you'll need to recreate the dataset, when it is possible, or restore it from a backup if exists.
When you get such intermittent issues, you might have a damaged storage volume.
For more detailed help, post your question in a new thread, and include log(s) of failures.
