Msg 2749, Level 16, State 3:
Server 'ase160', Procedure 'sp_sysmon_analyze', Line 538:
Number of argument position specifiers in RAISERROR command is greater than the number of arguments passed.

In addition to "housekeeper", "esp" and "monaccess" also
causes the same error.

In versions ASE 15.x, it runs normally.
It seems to be a bug of sp_sysmon in ASE 16.0.
Can anyone check this behavior?

I've published KBA 2447113 on this issue with an attachment containing a fixed version of the stored procedure.
If you don't have access to KBAs you can extract the script for sp_sysmon_analyze using defncopy and fix it yourself, there are just two small changes to make:

1) at the very end of the file (line 538), add ", @section" to the raiserror 18532 call

begin
raiserror 18532 @msg, "sp_sysmon", @section
raiserror 18534 @msg, "sp_sysmon"
end

2) A little bit higher up, add a new line containing "else" before the line containing 'if (@section = "nvcache")'

end /* } */
else
if (@section="nvcache")
begin /* { */

Thanks Bret

I confirmed normal sp_sysmon run after the modification of sp_sysmon_analyze you suggested.
