Known issues with SAS

If you plan to use a SAS engine in Spotfire Statistics Services, you should known issues.

Sending a zero-row, zero-column data set to the SAS engine generates an error. If the SAS script creates a zero-row, multiple-column output data set, it is read as a zero-row, zero-column data set.
SAS engines cannot handle all Spotfire data types. Sending raw (binary) data to a SAS engine generates an error. Spotfire SingleReal and Integer values are sent to the SAS engine as doubles. The SAS engine reads the double infinity value as NA. An empty string value (“”) is returned to Spotfire as NA.
Variable names and column names must respect the SAS scripting restrictions (that is, they cannot start with a digit, or have less than 32 characters).
