Problem Note 65288: The metadata_setassn function does not successfully remove a user from a group even though the return code is 0 when you use the Chinese locale
 |  |  |  |  |
If you use the Chinese locale (zh=Chinese) and try to remove a user from a group with the metadata_setassn function, the user might not be successfully removed from the group. In this scenario, a return code of 0 appears, but the user is not removed.
For example, you would encounter this issue if you ran code similar to the following:
rc = metadata_setassn("omsobj:Person\&personId", "IdentityGroups", "Remove", "omsobj:IdentityGroup\&groupId");
The same code in SAS® 9.4M1 (TS1M1) removes the user from the group correctly.
