Problem Note 52730: SAS® Enterprise Guide® generates an error when you set a default prompt on a stored process

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When you use SAS Enterprise Guide to create a stored process that uses a dynamic prompt, the following error occurs. The error is generated when a default value for the prompt is specified and the locales for the operating system and SAS Enterprise Guide do not match. Specifically, it is generated when you attempt to finish the stored process, not when editing or creating the prompt.

-------------------------- Technical Information Follows -------------------------- Exception Details: ---------------------------------------- Exception type: System.NullReferenceException Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source: UserContext Target Site: MakeOMRConnectionFromConfigFiles

Here is an example: If the value for Current selected language: is set to English (United States) and the operating system's Format: is set to English (Canada), this error occurs.

To circumvent this issue, ensure that the Current selected language: within SAS Enterprise Guide and the language of the operating system match.
