ESS[SAS] F3 button and "File Mode Specification error: (void-variable ess-ac-sources)"

ESS[SAS] F3 button and "File Mode Specification error: (void-variable
ess-ac-sources)"

I have been searching for an answer/solution to this problem. I am not
sure how it happened or what I did (if anything), but when I hit F3 to run
a batch file for SAS in ESS[SAS] mode, it doesn't work. I have been using
it all day and just suddenly it doesn't work anymore... If I call the
ESS[SAS] mode button configuration from M-x it does work, but the option
that I have in my init.d file --- (setq ess-sas-global-unix-keys t) ---
doesn't seem to work when I have open a .sas file.
Also, now when I open a .sas file, the message "File mode specification
error: (void-variable ess-ac-sources)" comes up and I can no longer use
the F3-F6 buttons for ESS[SAS].
I tried searching for a solution, checked to make sure I have everything
up-to-date (everything appears to be: auto-complete, ess), debugged using
M-x toggle-debug-on-error, but I can't find anything.
In my init.el file, the only reference I have to ESS is the
ess-sas-global-unix-keys. I feel like the error is having an effect on the
ESS[SAS] configs, but I don't know how to fix it. What can I do?
