This problem occurs when you specify the CONDITIONAL= or MARGINAL= option with a Delta-Normal analysis and then partially run the analysis by using an ENDPART= or ENDPROJECT= option in the RUNPROJECT statement. For example:
...
proc risk ...
   ...
   deltanormal ...
      conditional=(rfcat1 rfcat2)
      ...;
   ...
   runproject ...
      endpart=states
      ...;
...
The workaround for this issue is to run the analysis until ENDPROJECT=RESULTS. Refer to the SAS Risk Dimensions Procedures Guide for more information about the ENDPROJECT= option of the RUNPROJECT statement.
