Can reproduce the OnewayFreqs related error message on z/OS SAS 9.13 by running a simple PROC FREQ batch step with locale=german_germany (happens as well with french_france but not with danish_denmark interestingly. These LOCALEs are the three that I tested). Additional information (at least in the way that I reproduce it) can be gained by running PROC TEMPLATE; SOURCE BASE.FREQ.ONEWAYFREQS; RUN; A syntactically invalid LINK statement gets generated (in my case it displays as BaseÖFreqÖOneWayFreqs; in case this comes through unreadable there are capitalized O Umlauts between the name elements). I can circumvent the problem by using PROC TEMPLATE ; SOURCE BASE.FREQ / FILE=BADLINK; then feeding file BADLINK through a data step, creating corrected link statements to file GOODLINK and feeding GOODLINK back like so PROC TEMPLATE; %INCLUDE GOODLINK; RUN;  whereupon PROC FREQ runs with no problems. Additional information: when using one of the NLS locales (german_germany in my case) the SAS log immeditaly issues a warning message first. Somewhat to the effect (am writing from memory) that the "session encoding OPEN_ED-1141 does not conform to SASHELP encoding" which is true since SASHELP's encoding is en_US and no localized versions of SASHELP have been installed. (Am yet to find an installation where this would be the case.) Kind regards Robert Bardos Ansys AG Switzerland ... View more
