If you'd like to investigate more accurately, maybe open a Tech Support ticket?<BR /><BR />Hope this helps,<BR />Audrey</P> Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:12:38 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Help-Please-Course-Using-DataFlux-Data-Management-Studio/m-p/968744#M21054 audrey 2025-06-11T13:12:38Z
