Issue/Introduction

MICS daily production jobs may fail with a U0999 abend in the DAYALL step.
The SAS log indicates an "Apparent invocation of macro BASFMTCP not resolved" (Error 180-322).

   +%BASFMTCP;

WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro BASFMTCP not resolved.             
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order. 

This issue typically indicates that the environment cannot access the required macro member within
the MACAUTOS dataset due to security or authorization restrictions.

Environment

MICS Resource Management

Cause

Insufficient authorization access to one or more of the datasets in the SASAUTOS DD defined in the MICS proc being executed, often caused by changes to
security profiles (e.g., ACF2, RACF, or Top Secret) affecting the job user's access rights.

Resolution

Verify access permissions for the user or ACID running the MICS jobs. Ensure read access is granted to the dataset(s) defined in the SASAUTOS DD concatenation and that the macro member BASFMTCP is present in the sharedprefix.MACAUTOS library.

1. Check Security Logs: Review the SYSLOG for security violations occurring at the time of the job failure.
   
   
2. Verify Dataset Access: Confirm the user ID has appropriate read access to the datasets specified in the MICS JCL/PROC(s).
   
   
3. Test Job: Run a test SAS job to isolate the macro access:

//SAS EXEC MICSSHRx,REGION=0M,OPTIONS='VERBOSE ECHOAUTO'
//SASEXEC DD *
OPTIONS SOURCE SOURCE2 MPRINT SYMBOLGEN;
%INCLUDE SASAUTOS(BASFMTCP);
%BASFMTCP ;
ENDSAS;

If this fails with authorization errors, coordinate with your site security team to update the relevant profiles.
