Hi Ian-
Of course, this turns out to be one of those "try the obvious" things.
After you and a couple others reported that this worked in 8.0 I tried again
- still had the quirk. I rebooted and tried again and everything works
fine.
So, now I can just be glad that the syntax highlighting works with %PUT as
well as PUT!!
This is the second time today that an "error" has just gone away after
restarting SAS or rebooting. Maybe I should just take the rest of the day
off and let my computer rest.

Thanks Jennifer -
A couple people have mentioned that it works in 8.1. I have 8.1 on my
laptop at home, but still 8.0 at the office. I'll try tonight and see if
it's an 8.0 thing.

Pete,
I tried your code (on v8.1 - recently installed) and got all 4 lines.
Hope that helps!
