  * indicates a required field

If the SYSLAST macro variable, or _LAST_ system option, is assigned a table name that contains blank spaces when the name literal syntax is being used, the first blank space in the table name might be removed.

This can result in an invalid table name if code references the table _LAST_ or &SYSLAST.

A workaround for the problem is as follows:

If you are assigning a value to SYSLAST (or _LAST_) within your code, inserting a blank space after the libref and before the table name literal will circumvent this issue, because this blank will get removed instead of the one in the name literal table name.
