Hi experts

All of a sudden I’m starting to get the following error below about sgpanel

Any idea about the root cause?

Bests

MPRINT(SOURCED):   proc sgpanel data=tr_test (where=(lowcase(opportunity_type) contains "software" or lowcase(opportunity_type)

contains "managed"));

MPRINT(SOURCED):   panelby countryname opportunity_type;

MPRINT(SOURCED):   vbar class / response=col1 group=_name_ stat=sum nostatlabel groupdisplay=cluster;

MPRINT(SOURCED):   run;

I discovered the error being associated to the variable length utilized, which was changed in the mart with a huge format of $480.

I re-formatted the var to $30. and the error is not showing anymore
