61596 - The refine-output functionality fails when you use it with a numeric field that is defined as "Nominal"

Problem Note 61596: The refine-output functionality fails when you use it with a numeric field that is defined as "Nominal"

When you use the the refine-output functionality (on the Refine Output tab) in a SAS^® Marketing Automation Export node that references an upstream Select node in the diagram, the diagram fails and generates the following error:

The diagram fails because the Select node uses a numeric field that is defined as Level=Nominal in the SAS Marketing Automation information map. This problem also occurs if a date field is defined as Level=Nominal.

To work around this issue, define the numeric or date field as Level=Internal in the SAS Marketing Automation information map.
