What were you doing when the error was generated? If running code, post the code. Otherwise describe what you had attempted and what you were trying to accomplish.

These kind of errors usually depends on corrupt data.

Since it's a work table, just try to restart your SAS session.

If that doesn't help (you'l get the same error), you need to find the program/function that creates this data set.

Your error doesn't match your question, it has nothing to do with the SASHELP library. Please clarify your question - include code/log and sample data as much as possible.

Don't be so sure about that @Reeza, I had similar problem on a few occasions. corrupted data or libnames with paths or options that weren't valid. See another thread of the subject (even though I don't think the solution there doesn't apply here?)

@LinusH True, I can see a corrupt library causing issues. I still don't think there's enough information to offer a solution though
