Problem Note 3599: COMPUTED variable under multiple ACROSS variables may cause an error
If PROC REPORT code contains a GROUP, ORDER or DISPLAY variable and
multiple variables under an ACROSS variable that is under another ACROSS
variable, then a system specific error may be produced.
The following COLUMN statement illustrates the structure that will
recreate the problem.
COLUMN VAR1 ACROSS1,(ACROSS2,VAR2 VAR3);
The only workaround is to have only one variable under the second
ACROSS variable.
