The following error can occur when running a stored process that includes the %STPBEGIN and %STPEND macros:

This error will occur when write access to the SASUSER library is denied at the operating system level. Note that the error message is truncated and incomplete. In additon, in UNIX operating environments, the following warning message might accompany the above error:

The error message does not effect the functionality and can be ignored. In a future release, the message will issued as a NOTE instead of an ERROR message.

There are two approachs that can be used to avoid this error message.

1. Remove the profile.sas7bcat and profile2.sas7bcat SAS catalogs from your SASUSER library.
2. Grant write access to the SASUSER library.

If the stored process uses the Workspace Server, then the client user account needs operating system permission to write to SASUSER. If the stored process uses the SAS^® Stored Process Server, then the "SAS General Server" group login account ("sassrv" by default) needs operating system permission to write to SASUSER. By default, the SASUSER library path is defined in the sasv9.cfg file.
