Problem Note 30546: SQL GROUP BY does not handle a missing GROUP BY value

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
If you specify a numeric missing value (.) in the SELECT list of a GROUP BY statement 
and then reference the missing value, SAS SPD Server halts with a segmentation violation
error.

If you run the same query with the SAS System, SAS terminates with a floating point
exception error.

However, if you run the query and reference the missing value in the SELECT list with
a numeric column reference in the GROUP BY, the query succeeds. 

Fixes have been made to both the SAS System and SAS SPD Server to correct this problem.
