In some scenarios, tables cannot register through SAS Management Console, which can generate a stack traceback in the workspace server log. However, you can register the table by running PROC METALIB code through SAS Enterprise Guide.

Column names that include whitespace characters can cause this issue in SAS Management Console.

This issue does not occur in SAS Enterprise Guide because SAS Enterprise Guide always sets OPTIONS VALIDVARNAME=ANY VALIDMEMNAME=EXTEND unless you override it in Tools ► Options ► Data ► General.
