Problem Note 2967: Might receive program halt with "ERROR: Invalid list item index" when
invoking DATALISTC/N window
If you use the CURLIST function to establish a current result list and
then delete the specified list and invoke the DATALISTC/N function
within SAS Component Language (SCL), you might see a blank selection
list window with a message that there was a program halt and the
following in the SAS Log:
ERROR: Invalid list item index.
In SAS 8.1, as the selection list window attempts to display, you might
also see a dialog window that says:
Unable to perform function. Program halted due to an internal error.
To circumvent the problem, do not delete the list specified as the
current result list until the program is finished.
You might see a similar problem if the current result list has been
deleted when you invoke the LISTC/N functions. However, the error on
the SAS Log will be:
ERROR: Attempt to get a string value from a list when the item was a
list.
