Error message in log

[fbl204653]

 Hi SAS experts,

An expected error massage came up when I ran a program.

Please see below. I have no idea what's going on.

Thanks!

MPRINT(PROFILE): proc sql;
MPRINT(PROFILE): select max(EXDOSE_STD) into :crsdose from subject4;

My experience with similar errors usually involves syntax that has something that the syntax checker hasn't been programmed to look for.

Since you have MPRINT showing then the code appears to be in a macro. Since it appears that the code generated by the macro is severe you might consider sharing the code for the macro. Unfortunately since macros can be data driven that my not provide sufficient information depending on the complexity of the code and the actual content of any data.

I would say that since your MPRINT does not include a Quit; statement for the given proc sql code that there may be something that SAS can't tell if it belongs as part of that Proc SQL step or not.
