Problem Note 63359: You see warnings about differing field lengths for ACTUAL_VALUES_TEXT and PRIMARY_ENTITY_NUMBER variables after you run the alert generation process
 |  |  |  |  |
You might see the following warning messages after you run the %FCF_COMBINE_ALERTS macro for the alert generation process (AGP) in SAS® Anti-Money Laundering:
Instead of using the length that the FSK_ALERT database table specifies for these fields, the %FCF_AGP_CODEGEN macro forces the variables to have the lengths $512 and $max_entity_length. This setting causes the warning messages that you see after running the rest of the AGP. However, the warnings do not affect the process and it completes as expected.
The max_entity_length setting is defined in the ruleconf.xml file. The file is located here:
Config\Lev1\Applications\SASComplianceSolutions\data\scenario\xml\
Workaround
If you want to remove the warning messages from the log, use the SAS system option VARLENCHK and set its value to nowarn before calling %fcf_combine_alerts. You can reset the value for the option to warn after the call to %FCF_COMBINE_ALERTS.
Here is an example:
%fcf_combine_alerts(inlib=STG_ALER,
outLib=STG_ALER,
outDS=combined_alerts,
outRiskLib=STG_ALER,
outRiskDS=risk_factor_alerts);
%if &trans_rc eq 3 or &trans_rc ge 5 %then %do;
%goto MACRO_END;
%end;
%fcf_section_footer(Section=AGP_COMBINE_ALERTS);
