Problem Note 68959: A semicolon character in "JobDefaultEnvironmentVariables" causes the error "Invalid environment variables in definition..."
After you open a job definition from the Platform Process Manager server or from the Schedule Manager in SAS® Management Console, the following error message is displayed:
Invalid environment variables in definition. Saved variables in file not loaded.
The error appears because there is a semicolon within the attribute of an environment variable.
The workaround is to remove the semicolon.
