Re: SAS Error
There are SAS options that control whether SAS will read all of the 80 bytes or only the first 72. And SAS reads columns 73-80 of the first //SYSIN statement and if there are no line numbers, assumes the rest of the input is also unnumbered, so a later line with a line number can trip up that presumption.

The only function in SAS I found that does not like line numbers are SAS Macros.

Re: SAS Error
First, there is a SAS list that is extremely helpful with these types of questions. To join, if you have not done so, https://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?LIST=SAS-L Second, please post the complete code output with the Error messages. The error messages alone are not as helpful. The SAS proc may have some differences in your shop than mine. By posting the entire job and error messages will help to see what the error is.
