SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Usage Note 56402: Picture formats used to format date, time, or datetime values are not supported by SAS® Visual Analytics
 |  |  |  |
SAS Visual Analytics does not support picture formats that are created using any of the directives available for the DATATYPE option in the PICTURE statement. The PICTURE statement is part of the FORMAT procedure. The DATATYPE option is used to format date, time, or datetime values.
If you attempt to use a data source that includes this type of format, you see an error that is similar to the following:
(mx.rpc::Fault)#0
content = (null)
errorID = 0
faultCode = "Server.Processing"
faultDetail = (null)
faultString = "com.sas.biv.exception.BivException :
com.sas.lasr.LASRException: ERROR: Some formats could not be loaded in the LASR
Analytic Server. (errorCode=GENERIC_EXCEPTION, params=null)"
message = "faultCode:Server.Processing
faultString:'com.sas.biv.exception.BivException : com.sas.lasr.LASRException:
ERROR: Some formats could not be loaded in the LASR Analytic Server.
(errorCode=GENERIC_EXCEPTION, params=null)' faultDetail:'null'"
name = "Error"
rootCause = (Object)#1
cause = (null)
errorResponseCode = "GENERIC_EXCEPTION"
localizedMessage = "com.sas.lasr.LASRException: ERROR: Some formats could
not be loaded in the LASR Analytic Server. (errorCode=GENERIC_EXCEPTION,
params=null)"
message = "com.sas.lasr.LASRException: ERROR: Some formats could not be
loaded in the LASR Analytic Server. (errorCode=GENERIC_EXCEPTION, params=null)"
params = (null)
suppressed = (Array)#2
