When you run a PROC FCMP step with TRACE-level auditing access specified, the PROC FCMP step fails with the following message in the SAS log:

ERROR: File <SAS-library-name>.<SAS-data-set-name>.DATA does not exist.
ERROR: Cannot open data set <SAS-library-name>.<SAS-data-set-name> for write access because it is currently opened or already exists as a standard data set.
WARNING: The following functions will NOT be saved:
   <SAS-data-set-name>

The workaround is to specify an auditing level other than TRACE prior to running an FCMP step that accesses the SAS library that is audited.
