Problem Note 65085: SAS® might terminate or return a "sas.exe has stopped working" error for some NLS locales when running PROC X12 or PROC X13 with a regARIMA model
 |  |  |  |  |
For some NLS locales, PROC X12 or PROC X13 might cause SAS to terminate or to stop processing with the following error:
Termination or this error or both have been observed under the following conditions:
SAS system option settings:
- ENCODING=UTF-8
- LOCALE=FR or LOCALE=IT (French or Italian locales, but possibly other locales)
and
PROC X12 or PROC X13 specification:
- Quarterly time series data
- REGRESSION statement with the PREDEFINED= option, where any one of the following trading-day effects is specified:
- TD
- TDNOLPYEAR
- TD1COEF
- TD1NOLPYEAR
- AUTOMDL statement
- X11 statement
Here is an example specification where this issue occurs for a SAS session with UTF-8 encoding and quarterly time series data:
options locale=fr;
proc x13 data=test date=date;
var y;
transform function=log;
automdl;
regression predefined=(td);
x11;
output out=out a1 d10 d11 d12 d13;
run;
proc x13 data=test date=date;
var y;
transform function=log;
automdl;
regression predefined=(td);
x11;
output out=out a1 d10 d11 d12 d13;
run;
Other than using a different locale, there is no circumvention for this problem.
