You must have produced the input dataset with PROC MEANS or PROC TRANSPOSE or some other procedure that automatically enters new variables called _type_ or _name_, which are expected in a dataset that is of the mentioned types, e.g., a correlation dataset, but not expected in a "regular" dataset PROC REG generally works with. And this leads to the additional comment that if you happen to be running regressions on means of variables (say produced with PROC MEANS), there is likely another, perhaps better, way to do it without computing the summary stats first.
