Usage Note 46846: Compatibility of stored compiled macro catalogs across releases of SAS and across operating systems.
Moving a stored compiled macro catalog from one release of SAS to another or from one operating system to another is not supported. Attempting to use the macro catalog on a different release may result in an error. Attempting to use a stored compiled macro catalog on a different operating system may result in the following error.
ERROR: File libref.SASMACR.CATALOG was created for a different operating system.
NOTE: The SAS System was unable to open the macro library referenced by the
SASMSTORE = libref .
WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro not resolved.
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
It is recommended that when updating SAS releases that the stored compiled macros be recompiled for the new release. Stored compiled macro catalogs are not compatible across operating systems and will need to be recompiled.
Because of this, the source code used to create the stored compiled macros should always be saved. The SOURCE option on the %MACRO statement will automatically do this for you. The following note discusses this option.
