Problem Note 41935: OF Array-name{*} syntax when used in PROC FCMP returns an ERROR message
The OF Array-name{*} syntax when used with a function inside PROC FCMP will return an ERROR message indicating invalid syntax. Currently the OF Array-name{*} is not supported with PROC FCMP. Here is an example of the OF Array-name{*} syntax inside PROC FCMP which returns a syntax error:
proc fcmp;
array x(3);
x1=1;
x2=2;
x3=3;
total=sum(of x{*});
run;
A workaround would be to do the following:
proc fcmp;
array x(3);
x1=1;
x2=2;
x3=3;
total=sum(of x1-x3);
run;
