59625 - The message "ERROR: CONSTRAINT ADD did not complete" occurs when you use the GROUP keyword in the WHERE constraint

Problem Note 59625: The message "ERROR: CONSTRAINT ADD did not complete" occurs when you use the GROUP keyword in the WHERE constraint

If you use the GROUP keyword in the WHERE constraint, an error message similar to the following is written to the SAS log:

24 constraint add whconstraint; 25 where (GROUP = "@SPDSGRP"); ERROR: CONSTRAINT ADD did not complete. 26 quit;

To circumvent this issue, you would need to escape the GROUP keyword as shown in the following example:

constraint add whconstraint; where (\GROUP = "@SPDSGRP");
