Hi team,

 

I am facing an issue in SAS EG like as mentioned in the subject line. I am posting again in the below.

 

NOTE 49-169: The meaning of an identifier after a quoted string might change in a future SAS release. Inserting white space
between a quoted string and the succeeding identifier is recommended.

 

Please help me to resolve this issue asap.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Harish

if you can show the code or give some more info then someone will help you. This is a very common error and reason for the same is discussed in below link

Since strings like

'01jan1960'd
'08:30't
'01jan1960:08:30'dt
'0d0a'x

have special meaning (date, time, datetime, hex-code literals), SAS alerts you that a string immediately followed by other non-blank characters might also get some special meaning in the future (like '664'o), and could pose a danger. Closing quotes should therefore be followed by blank space.
