Problem Note 4336: ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on numbered variable list
In Version 8 of the SAS System, the following array statement specified
in SAS Component Language (SCL) program code generates errors:
array id_variable_name(*) $8 id_variable_name_1 - id_variable_name_7;
This generates the following error:
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list
(id_variable_1-id_variable_name_7)
To circumvent the problem, either shorten the variable names to 8
characters or explicitly list the longer variable names rather than
using a range.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 TSLEVEL TS2M0 for this
issue is available at:
