Subject:      Bug with catalog access method

This has probably already been reported but could not find it in my usage
notes.
When writing to a file using the new "catalog" file option, i.e.
  file out catalog "sasuser.profile.test.catams";
if I write a null line (using a trailing "/" in a put statement), then
when I read that file back in that blank line acts triggers an EOF
condition and I am unable to read any of the lines I wrote following it.
