By default, the SAS^® system option VARINITCHK=NOTE specifies that the DATA step continues to execute and writes a note to the SAS log when a variable is not initialized. However, if there are initialized variables in a SAS program specified by the CODE= option in an UPDATE statement, PROC IMSTAT does not issue a log message.

This is expected behavior and is documented in the SAS^® LASR ™ Analytic Server Reference Guide

For more details on the VARINITCHK option, see Usage Note 47143.

For related notes about using the CODE= option in the UPDATE statement of PROC IMSTAT see Problem Note 55393 and Problem Note 55420.
