Problem Note 52580: The SASMSG function might generate incorrect results in the first maintenance release for SAS® 9.4 (TS1M1)
In SAS 9.4 TS1M1, if you use the same parameter more than once in the text field of a message that is used by the SASMSG function, an incorrect result occurs. This problem does not occur in SAS® 9.3 or SAS® 9.4 TS1M0.
For example, suppose that a SASMSG data set contains the following key/message pair:
etldim_L_59_key = Account member "%#1s" is a Balance account.
The "%#2s" member is defined as a child the "%#1s" member.
If you run the sample code below in SAS 9.4 TS1M1, incorrect results occur. That is, the substitution does not occur.
%put MSG=%SYSFUNC(SASMSG(WORK.MYDS, etldim_L_59_key, N, PARAM1, PARAM2 ));
Here are the logs for SAS 9.3 and SAS 9.4 TS1M1.
SAS 9.3 Log Showing the Correct Result
MSG=Account member "PARAM1" is a Balance account.
The "PARAM2" member is defined as a child of the "PARAM1" member.
SAS 9.4 TS1M1 Log Showing the Incorrect Result
MSG=Account member "%#1s" is a Balance account.
The "%#2s" member is defined as a child the "%#1s" member.
