Problem Note 67171: A job that contains a Model Scoring transformation fails with the message "ERROR: Invalid hexadecimal constant string..."

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

An error that is similar to the following message can occur after you execute a SAS® Data Integration Studio job that contains a Model Scoring transformation:

ERROR: Invalid hexadecimal constant string specific-content

In the message, the italicized placeholder text would instead contain the content that is specifically about the actual hexadecimal string within the model scoring code. 

This issue occurs because SAS Data Integration Studio incorrectly modifies the source code that is retrieved from the model package while incorporating it into the rest of the job code. Extra blank characters are inserted in the code when the hexadecimal literal strings are split across multiple lines during code formatting.
