The ARM log contains the actual LIBREF name from the LIBNAME statement when option ARMSUBSYS=DS_IO or ARMSUBSYS=ARM_ALL is turned on.

When SAS data libraries are concatenated, the LIBREF displayed in the ARM log is a "placeholder" LIBREF used internally by SAS.

No error messages are produced in the SAS log or the ARM log.

No workaround or fix is currently available.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

The sample code below runs on Windows. Change the directories to the syntax required for your operating system.

---

/* define directories C:\temp, c:\temp\a, c:\temp\b */
/* to replicate problem */

filename armlog "c:\temp\test.arm.txt";
options armloc=armlog armsubsys=(ARM_ALL);
libname x ("c:\temp\a","c:\temp\b");

data x.a;
  a=1;
run;

When code below is run, you get ARM log containing:

I,1539892170.586000,1,0.390625,1.609375,SAS,sasjrs

When concatenated SAS libraries are used with ARMSUBSYS=(ARM_ALL), the ARM log contains an incorrect LIBREF
