Problem Note 15160: Unexpected behavior in macro when dealing with nested functions
Unexpected behavior may occur when a program contains nested non-macro
functions which also contain macro quoting functions and quoted strings.
The error/warnings will vary and it's also possible that no errors are
generated.
Out of memory errors can also occur with this issue.
Here is an example of a line that may cause a problem:
x=tranwrd(tranwrd(%unquote(&ifcode1),"$",&lastvarstr1),'#', '&');
A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:

For customers running SAS with Asian Language Support (DBCS), this
fix should be downloaded from:
