Usage Note 14452: Using the GROUP BY and SORT BY functions of the SAS Human Capital Management query filter may cause problems

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
Within the Query tool of SAS Human Capital Management 3.1 (HCM, HRV, HR
Vision), the user may experience the values in the Add Filters page
being corrupted when a query created in version 3.1.0.2 or 3.1.0.3 is
utilized in 3.1.0.4.

The query exhibits the problem when the 'group by' and
'sort by' functionality are both used. A new query in 3.1.0.4 with a
group by and order by clause looks like:

   GROUP BY EMPSTAT, EEOCLASS, GENDER ORDER BY AGE ASC, GENDER ASC

But a new query created in 3.1.0.2 looks like:

   GROUP BY EMPSTAT, EEOCLASS, GENDER  ORDER BY AGE ASC, GENDER ASC

There is extra empty space included before the ORDER BY. This is not
handled by 3.1.0.4 and so it fails.

Removing the extra space from the xml file associated with the query may
correct the problem.
