In SAS Intelligent Decisioning, you can set a space (empty) for the attribute in a treatment, and you can add a treatment to the treatment group. During the scoring test of the decision (which contains the treatment group), the generated output table of the scoring test has an incorrect value for the attribute. Instead of a space or empty value, it assigns a missing value (.).

In the following example, the attribute TEST_CHAR is assigned a space (empty) value in the treatment. However, during the decision's scoring test, it is assigned a missing value instead.
