Issues Related To System Options (Migration issues of SAS 9.1 to 9.2)

1. A variable name can be created with space in SAS EG 4.1 without explicitly adding the option VALIDVARNAME ANY. Whereas the same couldn't be done in 4.3.

2. In the SAS EG 4.1 the user had write access to the SASUSER library. Whereas in 4.3, the write access has been denied.

Both the above issues were related to SAS SYSTEM OPTIONS differing between 4.1 and 4.3 (in our ENV). Below are the details of difference:

SAS Version 4.1: Option Name - Settings Description/ its use

RSASUSER NORSASUSER - Enables a user to open a file in the Sasuser library for update. VALIDVARNAME ANY - A variable name with space can be created.

SAS Version 4.3: Option Name - Settings Description/ its use

RSASUSER RSASUSER - Limits access to the Sasuser data library to read-only.
VALIDVARNAME V7 - Control the type of SAS variable names that can be created during a SAS session.

Requesting for change in System Options will resolve this issue.
