I'm running the following code on SAS 9.4 (also tested on SAS On Demand), taken from page 8 of "Driving SAS with Lua" http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings15/SAS1561-2015.pdf.

 

proc lua;
	submit;
		local dsid = sas.open("sashelp.class")
		while sas.next(dsid) do
			print(sas.get(dsid,"name"), sas.get(dsid,"age"))
		end
		sas.close(dsid)
	endsubmit;
run;

 

 

It fails.  The log is:

 

1          OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
 55         
 56         proc lua;
 57         submit;
 58         local dsid = sas.open("sashelp.class")
 59         while sas.next(dsid) do
 60         print(sas.get(dsid,"name"), sas.get(dsid,"age"))
 61         end
 62         sas.close(dsid)
 63         endsubmit;
 64         run;

Previous code examples work, but any example that uses sas.get does not work.
