Problem Note 33176: When using Select nodes to create an implied AND, SAS® Marketing Automation might be forced into a infinite loop
 |  |  |  |  |
An infinite loop might be initiated when you execute a diagram that has a chained select pattern:
upstream nodes => Select node => downstream nodes
The implied AND that is associated with the Select node causes the problem. The infinite loop does not occur if this diagram is changed to use an explicit AND instead.
The infinite loop occurs only when the campaign is scheduled. This problem does not occur when the campaign runs interactively.
