Cristian:
One nagging error message that I have not had time until now to diagnose
does go away when I replace the IMS PRINT statement in VALID with

PRINT "INVALID REGION: Skew= &S  Kurt= &a4";

The negative numbers outside quotes generate a "symbol not recognized"
error.

The remaining error messages have to do with invalid arguments to the
BETA() function: e.g.,

MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   DO;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   Lambda={.007, .007};
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   RUN Moments ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   RUN Valid ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   RUN NEWTON;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   RUN NEGATIVE;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   PRINT "MOMENTS" ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   PRINT MEAN VAR SKEW KURT ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   PRINT "Estimates of Lambdas 1 to 4." ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   PRINT L1 L2 L3 L4 ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   CREATE Work.Lambdas var{MEAN VAR SKEW KURT L1 L2
L3 L4};
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   APPEND;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   CLOSE Work.Lambdas ;
MPRINT(FINDLAMBDA):   END ;
ERROR: (execution) Invalid argument to function.

I've become convinced that this is a SAS/Vista issue. So, I contacted
SAS tech and discussed the issue. They said someone will get back to me
in 24 hours. I'll let you all know if they are able to resolve the
problem. Thank you for all the help many of you have lent me.
