When opening a table in the VIEWTABLE window such as double-clicking on
a table (data set) icon in the SAS Explorer, if you experience a program
halt with the following error messages in the SAS Log,

   Error: Could not query the specified values from the registry
   ERROR: Unrecognized value found for registry type specifier.

this might be an indication of corruption in the SAS Registry or one of
the PROFILE catalogs in your SASUSER library. Since the VIEWTABLE window
makes use of the PROFILE catalogs in the SASUSER library as well as the
SAS Registry, recreating these files typically resolves this problem.

To correct this problem, please follow the steps listed below so SAS can
recreate these files.

   1. In SAS, check the Properties of the SASUSER libref to note the
       directory in which those files are stored.
   2. Exit your SAS session.
   3. Navigate to your SASUSER directory.
   4. Rename the following two files:

         regstry.sas7bitm   --->    regstry_old.sas7bitm
         profile.sas7bcat   --->    profile_old.sas7bcat

      If you are running SAS in the Microsoft Windows environment,
      rename a third file,

         profile2.sas7bcat  --->    profile2_old.sas7bcat

   5. Start a new SAS session. When you do, the PROFILE catalog(s)
      and the SAS Registry file will be automatically recreated.
   6. Open a table in the VIEWTABLE window.
