Problem Note 55931: Your SAS® session might terminate abnormally when you use PROC IMPORT or PROC EXPORT code with the DOSUBL function
 |  |  |  |
Your SAS® session might terminate abnormally if the text string that is submitted with the DOSUBL function contains PROC IMPORT or PROC EXPORT code. The problem also occurs when you invoke a macro that contains PROC IMPORT or PROC EXPORT code from within the DOSUBL function.
The example code below illustrates the problem:
options mlogic symbolgen;
data list;
fname="test";
flg=0;
run;
fname="test";
flg=0;
run;
%macro cretateMargeData(fname, flg);
%if &flg=0 %then %do;
proc import out=work.data
datafile= "c:\&fname..csv"
dbms=csv replace;
getnames=yes;
datarow=2;
run;
%end;
%mend cretateMargeData;
%if &flg=0 %then %do;
proc import out=work.data
datafile= "c:\&fname..csv"
dbms=csv replace;
getnames=yes;
datarow=2;
run;
%end;
%mend cretateMargeData;
data _null_;
set list;
rc=dosubl('%cretateMargeData('||fname||', '||flg||');');
put rc;
run;
set list;
rc=dosubl('%cretateMargeData('||fname||', '||flg||');');
put rc;
run;
The following circumvention uses CALL EXECUTE instead of the DOSUBL function that was shown in the DATA _NULL_ step above:
data _null_;
set list;
call execute('%cretateMargeData('||fname||', '||flg||');');
put rc;
run;
set list;
call execute('%cretateMargeData('||fname||', '||flg||');');
put rc;
run;

Referencing procedures like PROC IMPORT or PROC EXPORT with the DOSUBL function might cause your SAS session to terminate abnormally.
