Problem Note 12557: Incorrect FMT output file is generated from an export using SAS Multi-Threaded Scheduler

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

If you set up a campaign or communication and enter text into the outbound data within the Execute Communication screen, and then use the SAS Multi-Threaded Scheduler to run the campaign or communication, the FMT output file associated with the export is incorrect.

For example, if you key the text in the note section of the outbound data as follows:

001 actionnumber 0005xxxxxxxxxx 002 mailingnumber 0005yyyyyyyyyy 003 mailhouse town street, gl54 5tx

then the FMT output file will produce extra blank lines as follows:

001 actionumber 0005xxxxxxxxx 002 mailingnumber 0005yyyyyyyyy 003 mailhouse town street, gl54 5tx

If you create a FMTTemplate.txt file for the SAS Multi-Threaded Scheduler to use, then the FMT output file creates no line returns at all and is simply a continuous string of text.

This problem does not present itself with the SAS Single Threaded Scheduler.
