in ascending order, some instruments might be missed by the filter, and
the results of the filter will be incorrect.

*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
No error or warning messages are produced indicating the the filter did not work properly.
To circumvent the problem, sort the variable names within the clause in ascending order.
For example, the following filter definition is correct:
FILTER <filter-name> "WHERE <cross-class> IN ('A' 'B')";
FILTER <filter-name> "WHERE <cross-class> IN ('B' 'A')";
- FILTER is the FILTER statement in PROC RISK
- <filter-name> is a name for the portfolio filter, specified in the FILTER statement
- <cross-class> is the name for the cross classification, specified in the CROSSCLASS statement
- 'A' and 'B' are the names of instrument variables
