Problem Note 7168: Unable to programatically register computed columns with long names
In SAS Release 8.2, a change was made to limit the length of a computed
column name in SAS/EIS Software and Olap metadata to 8 characters.
However, this has caused user-written programs that call the
_registerComputed method to register computed columns programatically
with names longer than 8 characters to fail.
Currently, the only circumvention is to shorten the length of the
computed column passed to the method to a length of 8 characters.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 TSLEVEL TS2M0 for this
issue is available at:
