Save column info to a dataset in CAS

[ProtoLithic]

Hi -

I'm trying to save the results of proc cas to a datset. Specifically, using the code below, but it fails. There's no descriptive error, it just returns "Execution Halted". It works without the saveresult part, though, so that seems to be the problem.

proc cas;
   table.columninfo result = cinfo /
     table={caslib="Library",name="Table"};
   saveresult cinfo casout={caslib="Library",name="Variable_Info"}
   ;
quit;

Using Form 3 syntax as per documentation for the SAVERESULT Statement works for me in a SAS Viya 4 environment.

cas mysess cassessopts=(caslib="casuser");

libname casuser cas;

data casuser.class;
    set sashelp.class;
run;

proc cas;
  table.columninfo result=cinfo / table={caslib="casuser", name="class"};
  saveresult cinfo caslib="casuser" casout="class_layout" replace;
quit;
