Problem Note 39198: "Unable to read SAS Report file" when output type is SAS Report
 |  |  |  |
When your output type is SAS Report, you might see an error message similar to the following:
Unable to read SAS Report file. -------------------------------------------------------- An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 276, position 87.
This error can occur when you're trying to do a cross tabulation in a Proc Freq or Summary Table task and one of the variable names contains "&".
As a workaround, remove "&" from the variable name or use a different result type.
