Check your SAS session options and you will probably find NOXCMD is set. Run PROC OPTIONS to check. You need to change it to XCMD for your X statement to work.

Note XCMD is a restricted option that can only be set by administrators: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=hostwin&docsetTarget=chsysoptfn1.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en
