For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be

ERROR: The keyword parameter DATA was not defined with the macro
As a workaround, edit the %orva_simulate macro and correct the calls. For a default installation on Windows, this macro is located at:
C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\orvar\ucmacrosFor example, at SAS OpRisk VaR 4.1_M2, in orva_simulate.sas, at lines 145 and 146, the word "data" is used in the following lines:
%orvu_append(base = &outstatNaked, data = _tmpStatNaked, canUseAppend = true);
%orvu_append(base = &outstatInsured, data = _tmpStatNaked, canUseAppend = true);
To correct these lines, replace them with these lines of code:
%orvu_append(base = &outstatNaked, new = _tmpStatNaked, canUseAppend = true);
%orvu_append(base = &outstatInsured, new = _tmpStatNaked, canUseAppend = true);
