I hesitate to correct Mathematica, but I thought Harmonic Numbers were only defined for integers. The arguments do not look like integers to me.
I don't think SAS has a built-in function for harmonic numbers. However, the harmonic numbers are just the sum of the reciprocals of integers, so you can define the following function:
proc iml;
start HarmonicNumber(n);
return sum(1/(1:n));
finish;
/* test it: The 10th harmonic number is 7382/2520 */
H = HarmonicNumber(10);
print H[format=FRACT.];
