Problem Note 54536: The SAS® Information Maps LIBNAME Engine might return a "Read Access Violation" when the code includes a FILTER= option
 |  |  |  |
The SAS Information Maps LIBNAME Engine might return a "Read Access Violation" when the code includes a FILTER= option. Specifically, if the value specified on the FILTER= option is extremely long, you might see an error that is similar to the following.
ERROR: An exception has been encountered. Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information: The SAS task name is [DATASTEP (2)] ERROR: Read Access Violation DATASTEP (2) Exception occurred at (0BC8A90C) Task Traceback Address Frame (DBGHELP API Version 4.0 rev 5) 000000000BC8A90C 000000000D1EEE10 sasioime:tkvercn1+0x198CC 000000000BC86EC2 000000000D1EEEE0 sasioime:tkvercn1+0x15E82 000000000BC8DD69 000000000D1EF290 sasioime:tkvercn1+0x1CD29 000000000BC7BFC2 000000000D1EF350 sasioime:tkvercn1+0xAF82 000000000BCA6A1C 000000000D1EF420 sasioime:tkvercn1+0x359DC 000000000A1E5F17 000000000D1EF428 sasyoio:tkvercn1+0x4ED7
For example, this error was reported when more than 100 values were specified for the FILTER= option.
One workaround is to reduce the number of values included in the filter. If you see the error when you attempt to open the information map in SAS® Enterprise Guide®, you can apply the filter after you import the data from the information map.
