Problem Note 16480: Formulas with incorrect syntax are validated and compiled incorrectly
 |  |  |  |  |
If you are using SAS® Financial Management, and use a formula with incorrect syntax due to a mismatched brace, [], or parentheses, ( ), the formula will be validated, and text after the last brace or parenthesis will be ignored. This will result in a different formula than intended, which will produce unintended results.
