Problem Note 65289: COMPILE procedure fails with, "ERROR: The word '_I_' is reserved, and cannot be used for the variable name in method "
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use the COMPILE procedure to write a method that references _I_ in a method, the following messages occur in the SAS® log, and the COMPILE step fails:
WARNING: _I_ was referenced in the method program <method-name>. However, it is not defined in the risk analysis environment.
ERROR: The word '_I_' is reserved, and cannot be used for the variable name in method <method-name>.
ERROR: The word '_I_' is reserved, and cannot be used for the variable name in method <method-name>.
The same error message might also occur indirectly if you reference the variable _NUMERIC_ in a method.
To circumvent the error message, do not reference the variable _I_.

This issue is fixed in SAS® Risk Engine 8.2.
