Problem Note 35540: "NullPointerException" when attempting to use a SAS® Information Map with corrupted metadata
Using PROC INFOMAPS, if you try to insert a filter into a folder that does not exist, an error will occur but the metadata will be partially updated. As a result, the next time that you attempt to use the LIST option on the information map or you attempt to access the information map by using the Information Map LIBNAME Engine (IMLE), your task will fail with additional errors.
