Problem Note 6146: May receive ERROR: Parameter 1 to method setcamText was not character
Within the Form Viewer control or Data Form object (Version 6 legacy
object) in a SAS/AF FRAME entry, if you enter a character value for a
numeric column that has a custom numeric informat that converts a
character value to a numeric value, you may receive the following error
and be taken out of your frame:
ERROR: Read Access Violation in task [AF].
ERROR: Parameter 1 to method setcamText was not character.
ERROR: The setting of object 'XXX' to the value of column 'XXX'
failed.
ERROR: Generic critical error.
Within the Viewtable window in form view mode, you may receive:
WARNING: The informat $ could not be loaded, probably due to
insufficient memory. The default informat will be used
instead.
Entering the same data using the Table Viewer control, the Data Table
object (Version 6 legacy object), the Viewtable window in table view
mode, or the FSEDIT or FSVIEW procedures does not produce the error.
