39076 - Errors occur when you use the SAS® Anti-Money Laundering macro FIND_ALERT_NEAR

Problem Note 39076: Errors occur when you use the SAS® Anti-Money Laundering macro FIND_ALERT_NEAR_NEIGHBORS

Errors similar to the following can occur when you use the FIND_ALERT_NEAR_NEIGHBORS macro:

ERROR: Invalid dimension specification for array acct_number.  The upper bound of an array dimension is smaller than its corresponding lower bound. 
ERROR: Invalid dimension specification for array ori00.  The upper bound of an array dimension is smaller than its corresponding lower bound. 
ERROR: Invalid dimension specification for array ori0.  The upper bound of an array dimension is smaller than its corresponding lower bound. 
ERROR: Invalid dimension specification for array ori1.  The upper bound of an array dimension is smaller than its corresponding lower bound. 
ERROR: Invalid dimension specification for array ori2.  The upper bound of an array dimension is smaller than its corresponding lower bound. 
                                       
                        . . .more error messages. . .

The macro generates these errors when the parameter input data set (inLIb.inDS) does not contain any observations or any unsuppressed alerts (where ALERT_SUPPRESSED_IND='N'.) The code in SAS Anti-Money Laundering 2.1 and 2.1.1 does not check for these conditions.

If the input data set does not contain any observations or unsuppressed alerts, the macro process is halted and the following message is displayed in the SAS log:

NOTE: AML: <Input Dataset> has 0 records or 0 active records.  FIND_ALERT_NEAR_NEIGHBOR is being skipped.

Note: This problem is fixed in SAS Anti-Money Laundering 2.1.1 and later.
