If the following conditions exist, SAS might generate a Read Access Violation:

• There are six or more levels of macro subcalls of macros.
• At one of the levels (no matter which one), a nested macro call is made inside %do … %to … loop.
• At the lowest level, there is a DOSUBL function call.

To work around this issue, use a %DO/%WHILE loop.
