Problem Note 2649: DROP/KEEP in PROC step causes problems
Beginning in Version 7 of the SAS System, using a DROP or KEEP
statement in a PROC step generates the following message:
WARNING: THE DROP AND KEEP STATEMENTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED
IN PROCEDURE STEPS IN THIS RELEASE OF THE
SAS SYSTEM. THEREFORE, THESE STATEMENTS
ARE IGNORED.
However the PROC terminates with an ERROR condition code (i.e.
&SYSCC=3000, &SYSERR=3000, step condition code RC=8).
To correct this problem, Version 8 OS/390 sites should apply the zap
referenced by Z8002649. Release 8.1 OS/390 sites should apply the zap
referenced by Z8012649.
This problem is corrected in Release 8.2 TSLEVEL 2M0.
