Odd SAS Behavior - OS/390 SAS8.2
Maybe cross-platform.

Dear Group:

I've encountered something unexpected.
It's probably my fault. But...

DATA A (COMPRESS=YES); SET WHATEVER;
.
.
RUN;
DATA B; SET A;
.
.
RUN;
DATA A; SET B;   /* Reusing A */
...
RUN;

There seems to be a problem if Dataset A has been
compressed. If Dataset A has not been compressed
it works fine.

Has anyone else seen this?
