Problem Note 60748: Referencing a nonexistent function within PROC LUA generates an error

DetailsAboutRate It

The following error messages are incorrectly generated when you reference a nonexistent function in PROC LUA:

ERROR: Can't find FCMP or SAS function test
ERROR: SUBMIT block:1: function test not found
stack traceback:
[C]: in function '__index'
SUBMIT block:1: in main chunk
ERROR: There was an error submitting the provided code

A nil value should be returned instead of the error messages.

The following sample code generates the error messages shown above:

proc lua restart;
   submit;
      temp=sas.test
      print (temp)
   endsubmit;
run;

The following should be written to the SAS® log instead of the error messages:

NOTE: Lua initialized.
nil
NOTE: PROCEDURE LUA used (Total process time): real time 0.10 seconds cpu time 0.03 seconds

There is currently no circumvention for this issue.
