Problem Note 47870: COPULA option in PROC MODEL may cause incorrect simulation values when dimension of SDATA matrix is smaller than total number of equations

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

If you specify Monte Carlo simulation with the RANDOM= option on the SOLVE statement, and the COPULA option is also specified, and if the dimension of the covariance matrix in the SDATA= data set is smaller than the number of equations to be solved, then those variables that are not in the SDATA= data set incorrectly get perturbed as well. The simulated values in the OUT= data set are also incorrect.

There is no circumvention for this problem.
