Problem Note 38191: Validation error in SAS® Management Console when attempting to rename a prompt selection group by changing letter casing
In SAS Management Console, when attempting to change the letter casing in the name of a prompt selection group for a stored process, you will get the following validation error:
The prompt name that you specified will result in a macro variable name that is
not unique. Please specify a different prompt name.
As a workaround, enter a different name and save the changes. Then, change the name back to the original name with the new letter casing. For example, a selection group is named PRODUCTS and you want to change the name to Products. First, enter a temporary name, such as temp, and save the change. Then, change the name to Products and save again. The validation error should not appear.
