Getting SAS Macro ERROR: Macro library damaged.

yanamadala85 — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 07:52:27 GMT

I am executing the SAS Parallel Execution program. I am using macros inside the RSUBMIT block. I am getting the below error in the log. May know the reason for it.

ERROR: Unable to decrypt instruction. -2139099112

ERROR: Macro library damaged. Cannot execute macro <Macro Name> on V9.4 compiled using V9.4 on 01JAN60.

ERROR: The macro CMS_BATCHSTSP will stop executing.

Was the macro library created using an earlier version of SAS? Or with a 32-bit version and you are now working with a 64-bit version of SAS?

The "compiled using V9.4 on 01JAN60" makes me think that possibly an earlier attempt to compile failed as a "date" of 01JAN60 would have a value of 0, which could be flag for a failed compile.

I would suggest deleting the macro catalog and recompiling all of the macros.

All the macros are compiled and created catalogs using SAS 9.4 M1.
We have different environments like Development, Validation and UAT. The
error is occurring only in UAT environment.
If I execute the same as sequentally, error is not coming.
I am wondering because it is happening only one environment.
