When submitting a query to the SAS® OLAP Server, a dimension member that contains a single quote, such as Mel's Merchandise, might cause an error when you attempt to sort or total the query results. The error would be similar to the following:
Caused by: com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval.DataRetrievalException: Exception occurred while attempting to access data. [ com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval.DataRetrievalException: Exception occurred when retrieving the ResultSet. [ com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval.DataRetrievalException: Unable to execute query.
