36528 - "The LENGTH value is out-of-range" when specifying certain length values in New Computed Columns in the Query task of SAS® Enterprise Guide®

Problem Note 36528: "The LENGTH value is out-of-range" when specifying certain length values in New Computed Columns in the Query task of SAS® Enterprise Guide®

The following message might be generated when changing the length value for a Computed Column.

The LENGTH value is out-of-range. It should be a value between 3 and 8, inclusive.

The message will most likely occur when setting a Length value that is not between 3 and 8 for a Character column.

To circumvent the problem, accept the default value for the Length value for Character columns.
