When you register tables using the Register Tables wizard in SAS^® Management Console or in SAS^® Data Integration Studio, table registration might fail and return a message similar to the following:

The syntax error occurs when you use SAS^® 9.4M5 (TS1M5) or earlier and either of the following are true:

• You use SAS Management Console 9.4_M6 or later. 
• You use SAS Data Integration Studio 4.904 or later.

The syntax error occurs because the Register Tables wizard is generating code using syntax that is not supported by PROC METALIB in your SAS system.

To circumvent this error, perform one of the following workarounds:

• Use a version of SAS Management Console or SAS Data Integration Studio that is compatible with your SAS system. For example, if you run SAS 9.4M5 (TS1M5), use SAS Data Integration Studio 4.903. For a complete list of compatible versions, see SAS KB0036260, "Support matrices for SAS^® clients with SAS^®9." 
   
• Save the PROC METALIB code that is generated by the Register Tables wizard, modify it to remove the PROJECT_REPOSID option, and submit the code using a SAS programming environment such as SAS Data Integration Studio or SAS^® Enterprise Guide.
