SAS Real-Time Decision Manager 5.41 uses DS2 code in SAS activities. This is a change from SAS Real-Time Decision Manager 5.4, which uses SAS code in the SAS activities. The DS2 code that is generated for SAS Real-Time Decision Manager 5.4 migrated SAS activities is incorrect under the following conditions:

1. The activity has a table output parameter that is null or empty (no columns).
2. The empty output table is not the last parameter in the output list.

When these two conditions are satisfied, SAS Real-Time Decision Manager writes the following error in its log when you execute the migrated activity:

com.sas.analytics.ph.RTDMException: Data type not supported by SDS Activity: 1

To work around this issue, ensure that the two conditions that are listed above do not occur in your migrated SAS activity.
