Reports that you promote or migrate from SAS Web Report Studio 4.3 or earlier to release 4.31 or later might display missing objects. Error details identify a syntax error such as the one shown in the following display:

In addition, SAS^® Information Map Studio displays a similar error when you run a test query or you attempt to validate the expression.

The syntax error occurs because the CASE expression (shown in the previous display) is missing white space between "Male" and WHEN. Because the meaning of an identifier after a quoted string might change in a future SAS release, SAS recommends that you insert a white space between a quoted string and the succeeding identifier. The releases of SAS Information Map Studio and SAS Web Report Studio that run with SAS^® 9.2_M3 and earlier do not enforce this recommendation. This expression validates successfully, and a report that uses this information map renders as expected.

Beginning with SAS Information Map Studio 4.31 and SAS Web Report Studio 4.31, which run with SAS 9.3, the same expression causes the query to fail because the recommendation is enforced. To resolve this issue, edit the expression to insert the recommended white space. For example, edit the expression so that it appears like this:
