ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

tsangedw — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 15:08:16 GMT

CONTEXT: I am a new user to SAS and running through an online e-learning course. Using sample code in the default sashelp library, I am given the following code that is a small test to verify that there are no errors in the log:

title "Car Inventory by Type";
proc freq data=sashelp.cars;
tables Type / nocum;
run;
title;

This returns the following log:

;*';*";*/;quit;run;

2 OPTIONS PAGENO=MIN;

3 %LET _CLIENTTASKLABEL='Program';

4 %LET _CLIENTPROCESSFLOWNAME='Process Flow';

5 %LET _CLIENTPROJECTPATH='';

24 title "Car Inventory by Type";

27 run;

NOTE: There were 428 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CARS.

QUESTION: My question is why is this error showing up? The output returns fine and as expected. This error returns for every query I make even simple proc print statements returning data sets from the sashelp library.

This has nothing to do with your code.

Are you using SAS Academics on Demand or SAS UE or EG installed locally?

It looks like something not set up correctly somewhere...

Thanks for replying. I am using EG. Ok I thought as much, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but the same issue is arising. Would you happen to know if there is a specific module or product that I should be excluding or including for this issue to stop?

My guess is you don't have a license for SAS/GRAPH.

You can verify that by running PROC SETINIT; RUN; and/or PROC PRODUCT_STATUS;RUN;

Great! I will reinstall, and update the post as answered if it works. Thanks

Hi Reeza, it didn't work. Do you have any other suggestions?

Ignore it? It doesn't actually stop you from doing anything.

If your company or school has provided a full edition of SAS you can also contact Tech Support and they can likely help.
