This problem occurs when the subroutine or function contains a struct array definition. To circumvent this problem, define the struct array outside of the subroutine or function.
If you need to define a struct array inside of the subroutine or function, then a workaround is to do the following:
- Define a macro that contains an FCMP step.
- Inside that FCMP step, define the struct array.
- Specify an FCMP step that contains the subroutine or function. Note that this FCMP step is outside of the macro that is defined in Step 1.
- In the subroutine or function, use the RUN_MACRO function to call the macro that contains the FCMP step that defines the struct array.
proc proto package=work.ff.funcs;
typedef struct{
int t;
int v;
} tv;
run;
option CMPLIB=work.ff;
%macro myfunc;
proc fcmp;
struct tv b[1];
run;
%mend;
proc fcmp;
subroutine f();
rc = run_macro("myfunc");
endsub;
call f();
run;
