The expression x={a b} creates a character matrix with the values "A" and "B".

You want to use horizontal concatenation to create a matrix from a and b:

x = a || b;

For more information on concatenation, download the FREE chapter of my book Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software from http://support.sas.com/publishing/authors/wicklin.html and look on p. 41.
