PROC MEANS/SUMMARY/TABULATE/REPORT may generate the messages below in
SAS 9 and higher if a WEIGHT statement is used and the STD or STDERR
statistics are requested.

   WARNING:  An error has occurred while adjusting the second moment for
             variable xxx.
   NOTE:  The affected statistics will be missing from the corresponding
          classification levels.
   WARNING:  Overflow has occurred while summing the first moment for
             the variable xxx.

In addition, PROC TABULATE may issue the following ERROR:

   ERROR:  Invalid Operation
   ERROR:  Termination due to Floating Point Exception.

This problem is memory related and can be circumvented by removing the
WEIGHT statement and/or the STD or STDERR statistics.

The expected behavior is to generate the WARNING below:

  WARNING:  An error has occurred while adjusting the second moment for
            variable xxx.

The fix provided below addresses the overflow and invalid operation
messages.
