Problem Note 67487: Trying to run one of the Base procedures against a Snowflake table might result in the message "ERROR: Requested function not supported"
 |  |  |  |  |
Running one of the Base SAS® procedures that is enabled for in-database processing against a Snowflake table might result in the following error:
The error is an informational message to the user that the summarization is not being passed to the database. Instead of failing, the procedure should still work, but instead SAS is reading the data from the Snowflake table and doing the processing. This behavior might result in slower performance than if the summarization had been done by the database.
The error might occur when the LIBNAME statement contains the DATABASE= or DB= option and one of the following procedures is being used:
- FREQ
- MEANS/SUMMARY
- REPORT
- SORT (NODUPKEY)
- REPORT
See SAS Note 69766 for an issue with the ROLE= and WAREHOUSE= options, SAS Note 70478 for an issue with the ROLE= option, and SAS Note 70479 for an issue with authentication using OKTA.
