Problem Note 42323: Certain query input table name might cause a syntax error after migrating a SAS® Enterprise Guide® project
In a SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 project, if the name of an input table used in a query is "BOTH", then the query generates a syntax error similar to the following after you migrate the project to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3 and run the query.
FROM WORK.BOTH BOTH;

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, ;, (, ',', ANSIMISS, AS,
CROSS, EXCEPT, FULL, GROUP, HAVING, INNER, INTERSECT, JOIN, LEFT, NATURAL, NOMISS,
ORDER, OUTER, RIGHT, UNION, WHERE.
To circumvent the problem, change the name of the input table (for example, change it to BOTH_DATA), and then rebuild and rerun the query.
