Problem Note 30571: Weighted output variables are incorrectly computed when using the AGLIB option in the RUNPROJECT statement within PROC RISK

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Weighted variables are variables which do not simply sum but require a weight when aggregating. Examples include RETURN, value-weighted variables, and exposure-weighted variables.

When using an aggregation library to compute output variables in SAS Risk Dimensions, the weighted output variables are incorrectly computed. No errors or warnings are produced. The following specification will produce the incorrect results:

    RUNPROJECT <project-name> PORTFOLIO=<portfolio-name>(AGLIB=<libname>);
where
    <project-name>
    is the name of the analysis project
    <portfolio-name>
    is the name of the portfolio file
    <libname>
    is the name of the aggregation library
and the <project-name> project uses an analysis that contains a weighted variable in its KIND option.

To circumvent this problem, run the project without using the AGLIB option when computing weighted output variables.
