Problem Note 64370: SAS® Visual Data Builder queries with special characters in their names cannot be scheduled
 |  |  |  |  |
If your SAS Visual Data Builder query includes a special character in its name, then you cannot schedule it. For example, this problem would occur if the name included a hyphen (-) or a period (.). When you schedule the query, nothing seems to happen. The flow does not appear in the Schedule Manager, and the task is not scheduled in the operating system.
As a workaround, rename the data query so that it does not have any special characters in its name.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
After the hot fix is installed, SAS Visual Data Builder converts unsupported characters to underscores for scheduling purposes.Operating System and Release Information
