Problem Note 19978: Specifying LOGPARM system option may generate INSUFFICIENT
AUTHORIZATION messages
If you specify the LOGPARM system option, you may
encounter messages like:
ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access <path>.log.
SAS® attempts to open files to check for existence and/or
last modification date, in the case of OPEN=REPLACEOLD.
Errors are generated when users do not have read access
to existing log files. This situation may also prevent
date and time directives specified in the LOG system option
from being resolved properly.
To prevent this problem, ensure that all users have at
least read access to all files in the directory in which
the SAS logs are written.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
