If your System Managed Storage (SMS) DATACLAS or MGMTCLAS values contain special characters and you use these values in a LIBNAME or FILENAME statement, you might receive a syntax error such as the following:
89 + LIBNAME WEEK "physical-data-set-name"
90 + DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) DATACLAS=#DCLAS MGMTCLAS=#MCLAS;
______
22
ERROR 22-7: INVALID OPTION NAME DCLAS.
To force SAS to see the value as a single character string, enclose it in single (') or double (") quotation marks.
