Problem Note 14735: The IMPORT WIZARD in the ADX INTERFACE may encounter problems
The ADX Interface allows variable names up to length 8. Hence when
you use the ADX Import wizard, the SAS global option VALIDVARNAME=V6
is set to restrict the variable name to 8 characters. This may cause a
problem if your variables are longer than 8 characters and have the same
first 8 characters in that the ADX Interface will report in the SAS LOG
WARNING: Variable XYZ already exists on file libname.dataset.
Furthermore, the ADX IMPORT WIZARD will allow the factor levels to be
longer than 16 characters in length. However, if you select the OPTIMIZE
button to optimize the response using the Prediction Profiler, Contour
Optimizer, Contour Plot, Surface Plot or Numerical Optimzer, the ADX
Interface will abend if there are variables with factor levels longer
than 16 characters in length used in the optimization.
To circumvent the abend, define your factor levels with 16 or less
characters.
