You might receive the following exception when you update counts on a node within a SAS Campaign Studio diagram:

This problem might be caused by your information map attributes for a data item that is a "key field." (You can tell that a data item is a key field if the item is used as a subject and has the extended attribute Level=ID.) Identify the data item causing the error by reviewing the error message that you receive. Information Map Studio might incorrectly change the expression type from a column-based item to a ResourceAwareStringExpression for the subject item. This problem occurs when you define the field in the map using these steps:

1. Bring up the property window for the subject data item.
2. Click the Edit button to bring up Expression Editor window.
3. Click OK button to close Expression Editor window.

These ResourceAwareStrExpr do not cause a problem in data items that are not key fields.

To correct this problem, open your information map XML file for editting. Find the problematic data item in the XML. Look in the information map for the following tags associated with this data item.:

   <Expr>
      <ResourceAwareStrExpr exprType="3" scope="2">
        <QualifiedColumnUse prid="XR13"/>
      </ResourceAwareStrExpr>
   </Expr>

Modify the attributes to remove the ResourceAwareStrExpr tags. Here is an example of the XML with the ResourceAwareStrExpr tags removed:

   <Expr>
      <QualifiedColumnUse prid="XR13"/>
   </Expr>
