Problem Note 3269: Invalid sort option NOHONORCASE error message when using SORTLIST
function
Attempting to use the NOHONORCASE option of the SORTLIST function in SAS
Component Language (SCL) will generate the following error:
ERROR: Invalid SORT option NOHONORCASE
Arguments passed to SORTLIST:
1 value = 18261
2 (Character Literal) = 'NOHONORCASE'
To circumvent the problem, specify the option IGNORECASE rather than
NOHONORCASE. This is actually a documentation error. IGNORECASE
is the correct option name.
