Problem Note 50697: SAS® Code nodes and Transform Variables nodes might ignore updates to existing code
 |  |  |  |
In SAS® Enterprise Miner™, both the SAS Code node and the Transform Variables node enable you to enter your own SAS code. It is possible to edit your code after the node runs. If you update your code after you run the nodes, and run the nodes again, then the nodes should run the updated code. However, the nodes might not run using the updated code. Instead, the node might not re-run. The results that are displayed are the results from the initial run only.
There are no errors or warnings to indicate that the updated code is not used.
The problem occurs if your SAS server is running on a UNIX operating system, such as AIX, Linux, and so on. The problem does not occur if your SAS Server is running on a Windows operating system.
To work around the problem, manually force the node to re-run by setting a Rerun property to Yes. By default, the Rerun property is set to No.
SAS Code node: click the SAS Code node in your diagram. In the Properties Panel (the panel is on the left side of the user interface), change Rerun to Yes. If you update the SAS code and run the node, then your updated code is used.
Transform Variables node: the Transform Variables node does not have a Rerun property. However, a Transform Variables node usually follows (immediately or later downstream) an Input Data node or a File Import node. Click the upstream Input Data, or File Import node. In the Properties Panel, change Rerun to Yes. When you run the subsequent Transform Variables node, the updated code is used.
