A SAS IT Resource Management 3.4 staging job might fail with the following error message.

ERROR: The SAS variable, _ENDSAR, specified by the ENDFILE parameter, is not in
use as an end-of-file indicator. The ENDFILE parameter must match the value of
the END= keyword on the INFILE statement being used to read the external source
data. To preserve the integrity of your IT DataMart, SAS will terminate with a
U1003 abend.

When a SAR IT data mart is migrated or upgraded, it might retain a legacy call to the RMDUPCHK macro that is stored in the staging_library.SAR.RMDUPCHK.SOURCE entry, as shown in this code sample:

When a data mart retains a legacy call, the job failure occurs. Therefore, you need to update the value for the ENDFILE=parameter from "_ENDSAR" to "_EOF" to avoid any errors.
