I'm working in a IBM Mainframe environment and need some help with
SAS. I'm reading a file with 17 million records. I'm using the
following
DATA _NULLS_;
INFILE IN1;
INPUT @001   ORI     $CHAR7.
      @015   TYP     $CHAR2.
      @017   STYP    $CHAR2.
      @019   FUNC    $CHAR1.
      @021   DAT     $CHAR8.
      @091   EMPTY   $CHAR2.;
IF TYP ='04';
IF STYP NOT='08';
FILE OUT1;
PUT _INFILE_;

I'm getting an error/abend 'File is full and may be damaged'. I
thought _NULLS_ does not create a SAS data set. All I want to do is
read, satisfy the condition and write the record creating a new file.
I do not want to create a SAS dataset.

Jules,

Try it with:
DATA _NULL_;
rather than:  DATA _NULLS_;

You may also have to add some options to your infile statement, but
I'd first see what the effects of the above change make.
