SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 50319: Performance tasks fail with "ERROR: Symbolic variable name 'variable name' must be 32 or fewer characters long"
 |  |  |  |  |
After the performance task has been executed, the following error might be displayed in the SAS® Model Manager PerformanceMonitor.log file:
ERROR: Symbolic variable name <variable name> must be 32 or fewer characters long.
The maximum length of variable name that is supported by SAS® is 32 characters. The error is displayed even if the variable name is less than 32 characters.
To work around the problem, rename the variable using fewer characters in the name. You might need to use trial-and-error to determine how short to make the variable name.
