In some scenarios, the code makes lists of certain variables using a space as a separator. If you source the data with spaces in these data fields, the use of scan functions could provide incorrect or no matches. The following fields are affected:

• Party_number
• Account_number
• Street_state_code
• Branch_number

The following scenarios might generate this behavior:

• sas10001.sas
• sas10011.sas
• sas10012.sas
• sas10015.sas
• sas10016.sas
• sas10017.sas
• sas10026.sas
• sas10027.sas
• sas10028.sas
• sas10029.sas
• sas10083.sas

When you apply the hot fix, a semi-colon, rather than a blank, is used as a delimiter between the concatenated variables in a list.

If there are spaces in the parameter data, then truncation might occur to the party, account, or branch numbers. If this occurs, then the scenario might generate erroneous results.
