Subject:      Error in Counter
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am running SAS Release 6.09  TS460 on an OS/390 mainframe. I have to map a
multi structured i/p file to 2 o/p files based on an indentifier.

The problems being faced are

1. The counter for number of output records is not getting incremented, even
though I have given a variable to be incremented by 1.

2. The numeric data is written as character to the output.. (for ex '090' is
being written as  ' 90'), I suppose this is due to the usage of PUT verb for
writing to the o/p file, how do I avoid this...

3. I am unable to use debug option as I am getting the following error

 ERROR: The DATA STEP windowing environment cannot be initialized due to a XU
 supervisor failure.



Could anybody throw some light on this
Thanks,
Baskar
