To all the people that help me with this post:
Today SAS is working properly. I followed this link: https://support.sas.com/kb/41/488.html, as it was already suggested. Moreover, I listed also SAS execution folders, and now it is working.
Thanks a lot to all for your time to answer me

Did you investigate the possible cause posted above https://support.sas.com/kb/41/488.html?

You need to disable any external non-SAS processes that might be interfering with SAS WORK files.
