I haven't seen it before. But a search of the SAS Tech Support area turned up the note below. Are you running this on a MVS mainframe using TK utility files?

==========================================================================

You may receive the following error message when attempting to execute a SAS procedure which uses Threaded Kernel (TK) utility files.

Utility file open failed.

Some of the procedures which may be affected are: SORT, SUMMARY, SQL, FREQ, MEANS, REPORT and DMREG

This is corrected in SAS 9.1 (TS1M3).
