An error is generated during the search of an autocall macro if the location is secured and the user does not have access to the location. The macro may still be read in spite of the error message. Prior to SAS 9.3 an error message was not generated.

The following note will be added to the SAS Macro Language: Reference entry for SASAUTOS:

NOTE: When searching the list of library specifications for an autocall macro definition, SAS silently ignores library access failures due to insufficient access privileges and continues searching through the list of library specifications.
