The mark block command is used to mark a column of text so that it can be copied to the clipboard and then pasted somewhere else. This is not working properly in SAS 9.

A possible workaround is to press the Alt key and drag the mouse cursor over the column of text, and then press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.

After applying the hot fix, you cannot add the mark block command to any key combination starting with SHIFT, but you can add it to other available key combinations.
