Problem Note 49888: The OUTSTAT= data set in PROC CALIS includes an observation where _TYPE_=STD
In the SAS/STAT User's Guide (online or hard copy), the OUTSTAT= data set description in the PROC CALIS documentation includes the following:
You can use the latent variable score regression coefficients with
PROC SCORE to compute factor scores. If the analyzed matrix is a
covariance rather than a correlation matrix, the _TYPE_=STD observation
is not included in the OUTSTAT= data set. In this case, the standard
deviations can be obtained from the diagonal elements of the covariance
matrix. Dropping the _TYPE_=STD observation prevents PROC SCORE from
standardizing the observations before computing the factor scores.
However, the _TYPE_=STD observation is still present in the OUTSTAT= data set. You might want to delete this observation before using PROC SCORE to compute the factor scores.

For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
The documentation says that for the default COV analysis in PROC CALIS, _TYPE_=STD is not included in the OUTSTAT= data set, but in fact it is. You might want to take out this observation so PROC SCORE can be used appropriately to compute the factor scores.
