Problem Note 53211: A traceback error might be generated if an error occurs within a macro
A traceback error might occur if an error or warning message is generated but it is not immediately written to the SAS® log. When this behavior occurs, SAS encounters a fatal error that causes it to terminate.
The traceback occurs when you try to update the automatic macro variables SYSERRORTEXT or SYSWARNINGTEXT after the SAS® Macro Facility has already terminated.
