Problem Note 68003: SAS® Enterprise Guide® might display "Unable to load the children for the item named xxx" when you expand libraries
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Enterprise Guide® 8.3, you might receive the following error when expanding a library:
This error might occur when you open a project that contains a program code called "Autoexec" in the Process Flow.
When you open the SAS Enterprise Guide project, the following pop-up box appears.
If you click Run, the Autoexec program code is executed. Later, all other objects (programs, tasks, and so on) contained into the process flow are executed.
If a task generates an output table in a specific library, then you are able to display the output table within the task. However, when expanding the related library, you might receive the error above and might be unable to select the output table from the library.
As a workaround, do not click Run to execute the autoexec code. Instead, rename the autoexec program code with a different name and execute the program on top of the Process Flow.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
