Problem Note 39185: A details table fails with an error when comment variables with a particular naming convention are used as reporting variables
A details table fails with an error when comment variables are used as reporting variables and when these variables have names that are the same except for a trailing underscore and a number (for example comment_var and comment_var_1).
The problem occurs because the code for identifying comment variables does not correctly parse the variable names in this situation, resulting in a downstream error message such as the following:
ERROR: Column "comment_var_1" could not be found in the table/view
identified with the correlation name a.
As a workaround, simply rename one of the comment variables.
