Can anyone help me in deciphering a SAS error. My SAS program returns an error code of 8 unable to read a SAS file called OLRSAS.RESULTS

The ERROR messages are

93 SET OLRSAS.RESULT;
ERROR: Expecting page 1, got page -1 instead.
ERROR: Expecting page 1, got page -1 instead.
ERROR: Expecting page 1, got page -1 instead.
ERROR: Page validation error while reading OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA.
ERROR: Page validation error while reading OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA.
ERROR: Page validation error while reading OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA.
ERROR: File OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.
ERROR: File OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.
ERROR: File OLRSAS.RESULT.DATA is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.
94

What could be the problem with this file. I am not able to comprehend anything by looking at it.

mfjin,

I googled it,but it did take 2 combinations.

First search string :SAS+Expecting page 1, got page -1 instead.

No results found

Second search string :SAS+Page validation error while reading

If I wouldn't have found it, then I would have gone for the third combination

Third Search string: SAS+I/O processing did not complete.

Even this gives you the similar results as the second one

Hope this helps...

Cheers
