Problem Note 59586: No error message occurs when you add invalid characters in a campaign diagram in SAS® Marketing Automation
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Marketing Automation, you do not receive an error message when you enter an invalid character [such as a forward slash (/) or backslash (\)] in a campaign diagram. For example, if you specify the name Direct Mail \\// for a Communication node and click OK, then you do not receive an error message.
However, if you use a forward slash (/) or a backslash (\) in the Designer or Definitions workspaces, then you might see this error message:
The name cannot contain control characters or the following characters: \/
Campaign execution is not impacted by the use of a forward slash or back slash.
