SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 61690: Import and export macros for SAS® Business Rules Manager give "ERROR: A character operand was found ... macro ... will stop executing ..."
 |  |  |  |
When running import or export macros in SAS Business Rules Manager, the following message might be displayed in the log:
ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required. The condition was:
(@&SERVERNM@ eq @@)
ERROR: The macro DCM_CALL_REST_SERVICE will stop executing.
NOTE: Fileref RESP has been deassigned.
The problem occurs if these three conditions are true:
* You are running one of these macros.
- %DCM_IMPORT_RULESET
- %DCM_IMPORT_LOOKUP
- %DCM_EXPORT_RULESET
- %DCM_EXPORT_LOOKUP
- %DCM_GET_TOKEN
* You specify the SERVERNM= server name parameter.
* The server name contains a minus (-) sign. Example: rlatest-edm.domain.com.
To work around this issue, specify the IP address of the server, or create a DNS alias that does not include a minus sign.
