- Subject: Basic SAS Update Question
- Lines: 20
-
- I am trying to use SAS to read the itemfile, read the corresponding bib record
- for a value and update th item file with that value. The basics of what I
- have tried look like this:
- INFILE LBRITMF VSAM ...;
- FILE LBRITMF VSAM;
- INPUT ....
- PUT @1 _INFILE_ @;
- INFILE LBRBIBF VSAM ....;
- INPUT ....
- PUT @54 value;
- I get a feedback code of 20. I couldn't be experiencing "user lockout"
- because I am using our test system. The only other possible listed is reading
- a record and then trying to add a new record. Is this what it thinks I am
- trying to do because I am trying to read the bib record between the read and
- rewrite of the item record? I thought the PUT @1 before the INFILE LBRBIBF
- would get me around that. This is my first SAS update program, so I am
- reluctant to restructure the program to read the bib first and then read the
- corresponding item records for update, only to find that my problem was
- something else.
