Installation Note 44364: The error "Expected equal sign not found in %LET statement" occurs in SAS® IT Resource Management 3.21
 |  |  |  |
A %LET statement in SAS IT Resource Management 3.21 System Management Facility (SMF) adapter reporting jobs might fail, resulting in the following message in the SAS log:
ERROR: Expected equal sign not found in %LET statement.
This error message is generated because the SAS System arbitrarily splits long lines when compiling macros.
To circumvent the problem, customize your SAS reporting batch job JCL to specify the option NOCARDIMAGE. Here is an example:
//STEP1 EXEC SAS,OPTIONS=’NOCARDIMAGE’
If you use the SAS IT Resource Management 3.21 client, add the following OPTIONS statement above the first macro call to _itrm_reports, as follows:
OPTIONS NOCARDIMAGE;
Below is a list of the report jobs in which this error might occur. Corresponding report definitions are included.
