Problem Note 43703: The wrong events might be used to create a combination event in SAS® Forecast Studio
 |  |  |  |  |
When using event names containining a combination of alphanumeric and underscore ("_") characters, the wrong events are used to create a combination event.
For example, when combining the events below:
BACHELOR_SP_10 and BACHELOR_SP_11
the resulting combination event may include other defined events, such as:
Combined event: BACHELORETTE_SU10 BACHELORETTE_SU11
This issue does not occur if you avoid long event names containing multiple underscores when combining events, such as:
SP_10 and SP_11
The resulting combination event here will include only the selected events:
Combined event: SP_10 and SP_11
A temporary workaround for this issue is to avoid using multiple "_" symbols in long event names.
