Problem Note 47938: A SAS® Marketing Automation campaign fails with the error "All positional parameters must precede keyword parameters"
 |  |  |  |
SAS Marketing Automation campaigns might fail with the following error:
ERROR: All positional parameters must precede keyword parameters
This problem occurs if the library in the SAS® Management Console for the Common Data Model is defined for a SQL Server database and the DATASOURCE connection parameter includes a port number (for example, DATASOURCE="DBI799P999,49821").
To work around this problem, you can use the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool to create a SQL Server alias. You then specify an alternative port number in the definition for the alias. The alias name is then used as the DATASOURCE name in the server definition in SAS Management Console.
