Problem Note 62292: Running SAS® Marketing Optimization in batch mode fails
 |  |  |  |  |
When you execute SAS Marketing Optimization in batch mode, you might encounter the following error in the mo_optimize_batch.log file:
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
This problem can happen when you use a large number of communications, where each communication is mapped to a different column in the Customer table. When you run the optimization in batch, an extra validation step is used to check the batch tables.
As a workaround, you can switch off the validation step using the following property in the mo_optimize.sas file:
Add this property prior to the %MO_MAIN call. The batch program files appear in a batch folder in your scenarios directory.
Note: Running the optimization in SAS® Customer Intelligence Studio works successfully.
