Problem

When you try to save a project in SAS Enterprise Guide 7.13, the following error might occur:

An error occurred saving the file. Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length

Circumstances under Which the Problem Might Occur

This error might occur when you save the project to a storage device using the SAS Workspace Server context.  For example, it occurs if you select File ► Save Project As and then select Servers ► SASApp ► C:\.

Workaround

To avoid the problem, save the project using a file system that is local to the SAS Enterprise Guide installation or using a network location rather than using the SAS Workspace Server context. 

For example, to save to a local file system,  select File ► Save Project As and then select My Computer ► C:\EG_Projects.

Or, to save to a network location,  select File ► Save Project As and then select My Computer ► \\server-name\EG_Projects.

A hot fix is planned for this issue.
