@francavi,

I cannot reproduce this problem on RHEL 7.4 with SAS 9.4 M4. Please try to run sasoq.sh from your home directory:

cd ~
/usr/local/SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/sasoq.sh -testware /usr/local/SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/sastest -tables *:* -outdir /operations/SAS

Hi,

is this the complete and entire error message or are there any other information in the error message?

Thanks

Thank You everyone for your assistance. Turns out there was a perl update that corrected this issue. The update brings the SAS perl installation version from 5.6.1 to 5.24.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a compatibility issue between RHEL 7 and the version of Perl provided with SAS 9.4.  To correct this, you will need to update the version of Perl used by SAS.  Please following these steps:
 
    1) First, download the file ftp://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/unix/sas_perl_update.gz
    2) Unzip the file:  gunzip sas_perl_update.gz
    3) ensure the file is executable.  If needed, issue the command:  chmod +x sas_perl_update
    4) as the "sas" account that owns the SAS install, submit the command to execute the file:

     ./sas_perl_update

    5) Provide the path to the <SASHOME> location on your system
    6) You should see a message "Patches Applied"
    7) Once this is complete, please try again to launch sassetup, and let me know how it goes.
