Enterprise Miner Reject Inference Nodes - validvarname=any not working

[wtemp123]

Hi,

I have used "options validvarname=any;" in my EM project start up code, and everything works okay until I get to the reject inference node which is giving "not valid SAS name" error messages in the log.

Please can someone confirm if validvarname=any is not compatible with the reject inference node? If it is compatible, is there another way that you are supposed to set the option?

I have a very large number of variables with hyphens in the name and don't want to have to rename them all.

Thanks

EM version = 14.3

Edit:

Error message (I've tried completely dropping and renaming the variables from the data node but still get the error):

I'd suggest contacting SAS Technical Support for this: https://support.sas.com/en/technical-support.html

Thanks, I have done.

I've not heard back yet but in case anyone else has the same issue, after using a macro to replace all of the non SAS compliant variable names the reject inference node started working.
