Problem Note 40524: "Segmentation Violation In Task [ RISK ]" occurs before instrument pricing when no output variables are declared
 |  |  |  |
When running a SAS® Risk Dimensions® analysis project, you might encounter the following error message in the SAS log:
If the segmentation violation occurs prior to the instrument pricing of the analysis project, and if your risk environment does not have any output variables declared, then this segmentation violation could be due to a problem with the way output variables are handled when no output variables are included in an analysis project.
To circumvent this problem, ensure that your risk analysis project has output variables associated to it. In other words, the analysis project needs to have at least one output variable declared and it needs to use the output variable during the processing of the analysis project.
If your project does not otherwise need any output variables, then you can declare a dummy post-VaR output variable. If you specify the following SAS code prior to the RUNPROJECT statement in PROC RISK and within the same risk environment as the analysis project, then this will ensure that an output variable is associated to the project in order to avoid the segmentation violation that is described above:
