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.

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.
