Problem Note 43624: "The response is an unrecognized format" when passing prompt values between linked reports in SAS® Web Report Studio
Report linking might not work in SAS Web Report Studio when attempting to pass a prompt value that contains the letters s-c-r-i-p-t. For example, a valid value for a prompt might be "subscription". If you attempt to pass the value "subscription" to a prompt in a target report, the prompt window displays with the following error message.
The response is an unrecognized format.
Response received: <String value="Subscription "
version="1.0"/>.
Similarly, if you use the File ► E-mail option to create a URL for the target report and you select "subscription" as the prompt value, you see the following error when you submit the URL.
HTTP Status 403 -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message
description Access to the specified resource () has been forbidden.
SAS Web Report Studio blocks the letters s-c-r-i-p-t in order to prevent cross-site scripting.
As a workaround, use SAS® Information Map Studio to edit the expression for the data item so that the value does not contain the letters s-c-r-i-p-t. For example, you might create the following expression to replace "subscription" with "subsrcptn".
case <<TABLE.TYPE>>
when 'subscription' then 'subsrcptn'
else <<TABLE.TYPE>>
end
