One or more of the following errors might occur when running the %MDUIMPLB autocall macro. This macro is used for the programmatic loading of users and groups into the SAS^® Metadata Repository.

An error is most likely to occur when the name or description attributes for a user or group have long values.

The problem occurs because of truncated XML code, resulting in incorrect XML syntax. The %MDUIMPLB autocall macro reads values from canonical tables that define the users and groups to load them into the SAS Metadata Repository. The macro generates XML formatted method calls that describe the updates to be made to SAS Metadata. When an XML tag becomes longer than 300 bytes, or 214 bytes of user/group attribute values, the XML tag is truncated. The SAS^® Metadata Server generates the error when reading the XML formatted file.

As a circumvention, modify long values of name and description so that the XML formatted string is 300 or fewer characters. Typically, it is the description field that is too long.
