Problem Note 36242: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set WORK._ODF_GP_EXISTING_STORE
 |  |  |  |  |
When using SAS® Markdown Optimization with the like store functionality enabled (NON_COMP_STORE_FCST global setting equal to 1), you may receive the following error in one of the child logs for the dipcl_opt_eval_workflow/Auto task:
ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set WORK._ODF_GP_EXISTING_STORE. PROD_HIER_SK=186349 GEO_HIER_SK=155 MODEL_GROUP_ID=73 FIRST.MODEL_GROUP_ID=1 LAST.MODEL_GROUP_ID=0 _ERROR_=1 _N_=2 NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. NOTE: There were 3 observations read from the data set WORK._ODF_GP_EXISTING_STORE. WARNING: The data set WORK._ODF_GP_FILTER_G may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 1 observations and 3 variables. WARNING: Data set WORK._ODF_GP_FILTER_G was not replaced because this step was stopped.
The only recommended workaround for this issue is to disable the like store functionality by setting the NON_COMP_STORE_FCST global setting equal to 0.
