Usage Note 16214: Enterprise Miner Tree node fails with "ERROR: Tree data set version 9 cannot be read by version 8 software"

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

The message,

ERROR: Tree data set version 9 cannot be read by version 8 software.

is generated when the tree data set is created by SAS® 9.1.3 with a Build date of December 23, 2004 or later, yet the Tree node (specifically, the PROC SPLIT step) is created by SAS 9.1.3 with a Build date before December 23, 2004.

This scenario is most likely to occur in an Enterprise Miner 4.3 client/server project.

To confirm this is the problem, run the following code locally:

proc split data=sashelp.shoes outtree=tree; target sales/level=interval; input region/level=nominal; proc print data=tree(obs=1); run;

The first observation of the WORK.TREE data set contains the version number. The value of X in the PROC PRINT output is the version of the tree data set.

Run the same steps on your server, such as through a SAS Code node in your Enterprise Miner client/server project, and compare the results of the PROC PRINT steps.

If the version values don't match, then we have confirmed the reason for the error.

To determine the build date for SAS, submit the following statement:

%PUT &SYSVLONG;

The SAS Log will show a value, such as, 9.01.01M3P061705. This equates to SAS 9.1.3 (TS1M3) Build date June 17, 2005.
