Dear SAS-L-ers,

Mona posted the following in reply to my suggestion to provide more information about the problem at hand:

Mona, you are quite welcome!

I am _VERY_ glad that you fixed your problem. However, it would be helpful to fellow SAS-L-ers if you posted what the problem actually turned out to be and how you fixed it. It could very well turn out that some hapless person in SAS-L-landia hits the very same issue in the next week or so. Then, that person would think "Oh, yea, I remember this problem from the 'L, and Mona did x, y, and z to fix it!"

Mona, best of luck in all of your SAS endeavors!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
