Problem Note 65172: SAS® Marketing Automation export fields that have numeric tags are converted to character fields when the field value is null
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Marketing Automation, export fields that have numeric tags are converted to character fields when the field value is null. This conversion can cause an error when the data is exported to the source, which expects a numeric value. This problem can occur only when the field, which is located in the treatment, is set to Dynamic (editable in campaign) and there is no default value set.
To work around this issue, make sure that the field has a default value set in the treatment in which the tag is attached.
