When you submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) e-file using SAS® Enterprise Case Management or SAS® Anti-Money Laundering, it might be rejected. The response file from the United States Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network might contain messages like the following:

The e-file is rejected because there is a defect in the following SAS® program file:

• For SAS Enterprise Case Management 2.3: <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.2/casemgmtmva/ucmacros/ecm23_efile_fincen_sar_detail.sas
• For SAS Enterprise Case Management 3.1 and 3.2, and SAS Anti-Money Laundering 5.1 and 5.2: <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.3/casemgmtmva/ucmacros/ecmrr_efile_fincen_sar_detail.sas

To work around this issue:

1. • For SAS Enterprise Case Management 2.3: Copy the file ecm23_efile_fincen_sar_detail.sas from the directory <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.2/casemgmtmva/ucmacros to the directory <SASCONFIG>/LevX/Applications/SASCaseManagementServerCfg/2.3/Source/ucmacros.
   • For SAS Enterprise Case Management 3.1 and SAS Anti-Money Laundering 5.1: Copy the file ecmrr_efile_fincen_sar_detail.sas from the directory <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.3/casemgmtmva/ucmacros to the directory <SASCONFIG>/LevX/Applications/SASCaseManagementServerCfg/3.1/Source/ucmacros.
   • For SAS Enterprise Case Management 3.2 and SAS Anti-Money Laundering 5.2: Copy the file ecmrr_efile_fincen_sar_detail.sas from the directory <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.3/casemgmtmva/ucmacros to the directory <SASCONFIG>/LevX/Applications/SASCaseManagementServerCfg/3.2/Source/ucmacros.
2. Edit the file copy to remove the text "(obs=99)" everywhere it appears in the file, and save the file. There are three occurrences of "(obs=99)" that need to be removed (for institution, branch, and subject).
