When DS2 procedure code contains the hash package, and the MISSING_NOTE DS2 option is specified, the following errors are generated:

This problem occurs with any solution that generates PROC DS2 code and uses the hash package.

Workaround

Isolate the function calls, which require the MISSING_NOTE option, in a package.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

When you run PROC DS2 code, the MISSING_NOTE option writes a note to the SAS log when an invalid function argument generates a missing value. This option is specified in the DS2_OPTIONS statement. The code below illustrates how the combination of this option along with the hash package causes errors.

---

PROC DS2  ;
ds2_options missing_note;

data _null_ ;
dcl package hash ruleSetNameHash;
dcl double z;
method run();
z = irr( 1.0 , -400.0 , . , . , . );
end;
enddata;
run;
quit;

/* The SAS log would reflect these errors */

ERROR: Compilation error.
ERROR: Internal code generation failure.
ERROR: Line n: Package/extension type hash is not defined.
