This problem occurs in UNIX operating environments when either the JVM_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS parameter lines are left open ended (that is, they are missing the closing double quotation mark) in either the SASServer1.sh or SASServer1_x.sh start–up scripts. To resolve the problem, add the closing double quotation mark to the JVM_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS parameter lines.
