Also, depending on the record type, I think Dr. Barry has some diagnostics when MXG hits an invalid SMF record, check your SASLOG for some diagnostics showing the invalid record(s). been a while since I've used SAS/MXG but I believe this is still the case

It means you have an out-of-sequence or missing segment of a spanned record in the file.

PROCESSING IS CONTINUING TO THE NEXT RECORD. Also tried using MXG 36.04 (which required hotfix 37166 for SAS). Processed only the 2.3 dataset to narrow it down. Is this anything to worry about? How can I tell which record it is complaining about? Thanks Paul Atos, Atos Consulting, Worldline and Canopy The Open Cloud Company are trading names used by the Atos group.
