Usage Note 17286: "ERROR: Invalid user prompt identifier"
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Human Capital Management 3.1 (HCM), when you create a query and apply a filter to a column that has values with leading special characters (&, % etc.), executing the query may result in the following error:
"ERROR: Invalid user prompt identifier"
A work-around for this issue is to create a user prompt on this column, and choose to display it as a "List Selection".
After applying the hot fix, you can specify a value with a leading special character by enclosing the value in single quotes - '&test'.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
