Problem Note 57804: In SAS® Enterprise Guide®, modifying the Edit Data and Filter window for any task might cause a syntax error

DetailsAboutRate It

Making any change in the Edit Data and Filter window, or simply re-accessing the Edit Data and Filter window for any task might result in a syntax error similar to the following:

42 FROM WORK.TEST as T 43 WHERE x > 07/31/2015 10:10:10 __ 22 76 ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, !, !!, &, *, **, +, -, /, <, <=, <>, =, >, >=, AND, EQ, EQT, EXCEPT, GE, GET, GROUP, GT, GTT, HAVING, INTERSECT, LE, LET, LT, LTT, NE, NET, NOT, OR, ORDER, OUTER, UNION, USING, ^, ^=, |, ||, ~, ~=. ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

Typically, this problem occurs when the filter is on a date, time, or datetime value.

The only way to fix the problem is to delete the task and add the task again with the new filter in the Edit Data and Filter window.

To avoid the issue, use the Query Builder to filter the data instead of the task's Edit Data and Filter window.
