A CAS server session might return an error or produce incorrectly aggregated data. Specifically, this problem can occur when a variable used in a grouping has an applied user-defined format, and the format is not loaded in the CAS server. For example, suppose that a SAS^® Visual Analytics report is using a variable that has a user-defined format and that format is not loaded. In this case, all values might be aggregated as missing, or the CAS session might return an error for the query. The error can appear in the browser or the log.
