Problem Note 34164: Invalid Operation error may occur if selected ARIMA model produces a perfect fit
 |  |  |  |  |
The HPFDIAGNOSE procedure may return the following errors:
- ERROR: Invalid Operation.
- ERROR: Termination due to Floating Point Exception.
if an ARIMA model is selected and results in a perfect fit to the data. This condition is most likely to occur if the data for a particular series is sparse and input variables are included in the ARIMA model.
No circumventions are available for this problem, however, a hot fix is under consideration.
