Problem Note 8911: Macro causes errors when tokenizer reads past an end of line
In some circumstances SAS code generated from a macro invocation may
cause various types of errors. This problem is due to the tokenizer
looking past the end of the current token and finding a garbage
character. This character passes back to the DATA step parser which then
issues a syntax error.
A possible work-around is to use the %UNQUOTE function around the
section of code that is causing the problem.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 TSLEVEL TS2M0 for this
issue is available at:
