Problem Note 16248: GRDSVC_NNODE used with a data step does not return the correct information
 |  |  |  |  |
When using the GRDSVC_NNODES Grid function, wrong information will be given when used within a data step as opposed to %SYSFUNC. The following code may display the problem:
%put numnodes=%sysfunc(grdsvc_nnodes(%str()));
data _null_;
numnodes=grdsvc_nnodes("");
put numnodes=;
run;
In this example, %SYSFUNC returns a value of 11 (which is correct) and the dataset returns a value of 0.
