Hi Everyone,

 

There is one SAS error that bothered me for a long time. I have made a screen shot of this error message in the log and attached here.

 

Basically every time I opened a new SAS window or opened a table in any library, this error message would show up in the log. It won't causing any trouble of running my SAS program, but it is annoying to see it in the log. I used SAS in my previous jobs, never saw this error before.

 

Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Look in your SASUSER library to see if the  Profile catalog exists. If so, it may have gotten corrupted. You can delete SASUSER.PROFILE and the next time you start SAS it will create a new one. This catalog stores SAS window customizations such as colors for LOG and OUTPUT windows, keys definitions and some other options. If you don't spend a lot time customizing the appearance you don't lose much.

I tried the proc datasets to delete the profile under the sasuser library. After that I opened another SAS session, the error message was still there.
