From your log I can't tell what the initial warnings are about but, regarding the proc sql code, you have two statements:

22 on AW.ACCT_NO=put(AR.AR_LOCAL_ID, $12.)

23 where AW.ACCT_NO=put(AR.AR_LOCAL_ID, $12.)

If aw.acct_no and ar.ar_local_id are both numbers, why are you converting the latter one to be character?  They must both be of the same type.

[Wickywick]

apologies should have been a bit clearer before,

ar.ar_local_id is character and aw.acct_no is numeric.
