Problem Note 39807: Global macro variable values and scope may be set incorrectly when PROC RISK is within a macro
Using PROC RISK within a macro can cause global macros to contain the wrong
value or be placed in the incorrect symbol table.
The scoping names are incorrectly displayed in the SASHELP.VMACRO view. Also, the wrong local macro variable values are being updated.
This only occurs with macro variables that are global to the PROC RISK. This includes macro variables LOCAL to the macro within which PROC RISK is executing.
