In the SAS Campaign Management component, if you create a selection rule
and save it with a name that contains only digits, then create and save
a second selection rule that references the first (for example, in an
INCLUDE or EXCLUDE set), when you recall the second rule and try to
execute it you receive an error.  The error occurs because the
application attempts to format the name of the selection group into a
date in the definition of the second rule, and the formatted group name
doesn't match the name of the holding table that was created by the
first rule.

For example, if you name your first rule "02 187" you will receive the
following error when you run your second rule:

   Holding table does not exist for selection group 01/02/0187

To circumvent this problem, you should prepend an alpha character to the
name of any selection rule whose name only contains numbers.  If there
are a large number of rules, you may programmatically solve this problem
by prepending an alpha character (without a space) to the NAME field in
the ISMDEFINITION and ISMGROUP tables.
