Your SAS code snippet works with my SAS system -- possibly you have not shared additional info about other SAS code that may have been executed previously, in the same SAS session?

1 options mlogic mprint;
2 %LET First=SAS;
3 %LET Second=Program;
4 %LET both=&First&Second;
5 %PUT The results are: &First,&Second,---&both.ming;
The results are: SAS,Program,---SASProgramming

it works fine for me.

75 %LET First=SAS;
76 %LET Second=Program;
77 %LET both=&First&Second;
78 %PUT The results are: &First,&Second,---&both.ming;
The results are: SAS,Program,---SASProgramming

Works for me, too. Scott is probably right. Try it again in a new SAS session.
