we use proc iml to do spline fit in enterprise guide, and we saw the error in the log:

NOTE: The data set WORK.MC2 has 10 observations and 9 variables. NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time): real time 0.00 seconds cpu time 0.00 seconds

ERROR: Procedure IML not found.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. NOTE: SAS set option OBS=0 and will continue to check statements.

This might cause NOTE: No observations in data set. NOTE: PROCEDURE IML used (Total process time): real time 0.00 seconds cpu time 0.00 seconds .

Are there any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Most likely: IML module is not installed.
Run
Proc Setinit; Run;
to see modules available.

The SAS/IML product has a separate license, just like SAS/ETS, SAS/OR, and SAS/QC. You can see the products that you have licensed by submitting:

proc setinit; 
run;

If you see SAS/IML on the list, then it is licensed. Otherwise, it is not.

Thank you both. That is true, IML was not listed in the stored process.
