Problem Note 37351: A message in the SAS® log identifies an invalid argument for the SYSGET function when you run SAS with the sfb_autoexec_all.sas configuration file
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS programs and sessions that use the SAS® Fair Banking configuration file sfb_autoexec_all.sas might display a message similar to the following in the SAS log:
NOTE: Invalid argument to function SYSGET at line 201 column 35. NOTE: Invalid argument to function SYSGET at line 202 column 34. WARNING: Limit set by ERRORS= option reached. Further errors of this type will not be printed.
This message appears when the the SYSGET function in the configuration file does not contain values for the macro variables PROXY_SERVER and PROXY_AUTH. The autoexec program sfb_autoexec_all.sas uses the SYSGET function to retrieve its value. If the value does not exist, SAS writes the messages shown above to the SAS log.
You can safely ignore these messages.
