SAS FS batch code

Hi there,

I am using SAS forecast studio GUI and batch code for one the integrated solution.

I have created forecast studio projects and updating them every month for a new set of data using macro, %fssetdat, and %fsrunprj.

The above macros run perfectly fine when there is no change in the hierarchy (i.e. moving up and down the hierarchy from SAS FS).

But when I am moving hierarchies up and down, I am getting an error in FSRUNPRJ macro.

Below is the error from log:

s13946 *----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am also attaching the complete log file

Need help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As the message says, "brandid is not on input data set _HPF4.OUTMODELREJECT", if you think it should be, then trace back to see if brandid is being explicitly dropped or not kept in earlier code (and make sure it is spelled correctly).

I cannot see the attachment due to security restrictions.

Regards,

Amir.

HI,

Thanks a lot for replying.

This file is a part of forecast studio project, and when I run the SAS macro %FSRUNPRJ, it calls some set of codes. The input file "_HPF4.OUTMODELREJECT" is created at the time when the project is created.and it keeps updated. So brandid should automatically get added in the dataset but it is not getting updated.

Hi,

I don't have Forecast Studio, so I don't think I can help you much further (I assume you've checked the log for any drop / keep statements / options).

If no one else can help then try contacting SAS Technical Support:
