An incorrect value might be returned when you execute a SAS Intelligent Decisioning decision in SAS Micro Analytic Service.

For example, suppose that you create two decisions and you call them SubDF and MainDF. Then, you add the SubDF decision as a node in the MainDF decision.  

In the SubDF decision, you also add a treatment group with one or more treatments that contain at least 200 characters of information (column names + values). Then you perform these steps: 

1. Activate the treatment group.
2. Publish the parent decision MainDF to a SAS Micro Analytic Service destination.
3. Run a REST API call against the SAS Micro Analytic Service module that is created in the previous step.

The returned value might contain empty contents for the treatment group.

Note: If you have a treatment group with fewer than 200 characters, the problem does not occur.

To work around this issue, you need to move the treatment-group node from the subdecision (SubDF) to the main decision (MainDF).
