Problem Note 19868: Oracle prepare error running summation query in SAS® Enterprise Guide®
The following error might be generated when running certain summation
type queries using SAS Enterprise Guide:
ERROR: ORACLE prepare error: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found
where expected.
The problem will most likely occur if an Oracle table or table from
another non-SAS database is being queried and the query contains a
summation function, or the column name contains embedded spaces.
To circumvent the problem, manually add the summation fuction using
the Expression window in the Query Builder; for example:
sum(distinct(table_name.'var_name'n))
