SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 65152: The error message "BY variables are not properly sorted on data set…" appears after a DATA step is run with a BY statement against a partitioned table
 |  |  |  |  |
The following error message occurs in the SAS® Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) log after you run a DATA step against a partitioned table:
ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set table-name.
A workaround is to add the NOTSORTED option to the BY statement, as shown in this example:
data casuser.table1;
set casuser.table2;
by x notsorted;
run;
set casuser.table2;
by x notsorted;
run;
