Problem Note 45926: PROC COMPILE trade method "ERROR: You cannot access variable while you are in method ."
When you run a PROC COMPILE step that defines a trade method in SAS® Risk Dimensions®, you might encounter an error like the following:
ERROR: You cannot access variable <variable-name> while you are in method <method-name>.
This error occurs when you attempt to access an instrument variable or a project variable from within a trade method. These types of variables should be accessible to the method. However, PROC COMPILE incorrectly fails.
The workaround is to not access instrument or project variables from within a trade method.
