Problem Note 42971: Attempt to save a Price Ending rule with all penny digits except zero throws Pricing Rules error
 |  |  |  |  |
When using SAS® High-Performance Markdown Optimization to edit Price Ending rules in the Pricing Rules view, you might encounter an error when saving a rule where all penny endings except zero are desired (i.e. .01 - .99 are desired, .00 is not). A Pricing Rules dialog box is displayed containing the following error message:
An error occurred saving the price rules. Some rules have been saved. null
This issue might also manifest itself during plan creation when attempting to override price endings for the plan in the Optimization price ending page of the Create Active Plan dialog. In this case, a SAS High-Performance Markdown Optimization error dialog box might be displayed containing the following message:
An error occurred in SAS High-Performance Optimization saving the price rules. Some rules have been saved. Restart or exit the application.
In this case, the overridden rules are not saved and you might notice unexpected price endings following optimization. The details of the exception associated with this error might be similar to the following:
