Hello,   SAS VIYA Version LTS  2023.03   I am trying to automate a file download from the FTP but none of the methods I tried worked. The file I am trying to download is csv format and about 4Mb. In all the SAS tests, the connection to the server is successful (so, user and password are correct) and I also connected to that server using WinSCP and downloaded the file manually. Unfortunately, I let the SAS codes running more than 10min and because no results I stopped them manually. The 3 SAS codes I tried are below. I also added the SAS logs (the the logs are almost the same). I linked some of the SAS notes to http://support.sas.com/kb/57/165.html    Thank you for your help.   SAS Code 1: filename test99 ftp 'file.csv' cd='/csv/' host='myhost' user='myuser' pass='pass_example' debug; data work.test; infile test99 dsd dlm='$' firstobs=2; length var1-var58 $100; input var1-var58; run;   Code 1 Log: NOTE: 220-FileZilla Server 1.4.1 NOTE: <<< 220-FileZilla Server 1.4.1 NOTE: <<< 220-Please visit https://filezilla-project.org/ NOTE: <<< 220 welcome to myhost new NOTE: >>> USER myuser NOTE: <<< 331 Please, specify the password.

Hi,   VIYA 2023.03   I would like to create a a dynamic title for a graph chart, where the text displayed to change based on a selection from the graph chart. The method I used so far is using a button bar (similar approach presented in https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-customize-your-SAS-Visual-Analytics-report-Part-3-Create/ta-p/315058) but because I also have a page filter, every time I select a different value in the filter, the graph changes and there is no selection and hence the button bar display all the possible values. The button bar will display only one value only after I make a new selection in the graph chart. Would anyone have any ideas how to stop the button bar changing when I change the filter value?   Or maybe a different approach not using "button bars" but "text content" and parameters (for this method I couldn't save the graph selection to the parameter)?       Thank you, smm662002 ...

Hi,   SAS VIYA LTS 2023.03   The legend (situated below the graph) for a pie chart created with SAS Visual Analytics has changed from displaying the text to "Category". When I click the mouse on "Category" the legend is displayed in a box overlapping on the pie chart. The correct legend text was initially displayed but after reopen the report the legend has been replaced.   Does anyone had the same issue and what was the solution to fix it?   Thank you, smm662002 ...

Hello,   SAS Version: 9.4 M5   I have tried to use the function FINANCE 'ppmt' with 0 interest rate but I have received the following warning:    "NOTE: Argument 2 to function FINANCE('PPMT',0,2,120,1000000,0,0) at line 37 column 14 is invalid."   I have used the same parameters in PPMT function and it works.  The code I used is below and the result I was expecting from FINANCE ppmt is -8333.33.    data test2; temp_finance=finance('PPMT',0,2,120,1000000,0,0);  ===>  . temp_ppm=ppmt(0,2,120,1000000,0,0);                          ===>8333.333 run;     data test1; temp_finance=finance('PPMT',0.08,2,120,1000000,0,0);           ===> -8.42762968 temp_ppm=ppmt(0.08,2,120,1000000,0,0);                                   ===> 8.4276296798 run;   A similar issue has been raised for FINANCE 'pv' (Solved: Invalid argument to function FINANCE 'pv' with 0 interest rate - SAS Support Communities) and it looks like a bug.   Regards, smm662002   ...

Hello,   VIYA LTS 2022.1   Can anyone advise how can I create the geography role for Geo line object?   I saw very interesting examples in VA Galery (https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics-Gallery/tkb-p/vagallery) but not many details in the documentation about how to create this role. So far I found how to use the geo map objects (https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vacdc/v_017/vaobj/n14ezqxeg2a195n1au1q980gbkte.htm)  and how to create the geography data items  https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vacdc/v_018/vareportdata/p031vp9uc5y5iun0zipy3c1trkqn.htm   Thank you for your help.   Regards, smm662002   ...

Hello,   In VIYA 3.5 we have noticed that for some jobs the status is "Successful" even if the log contains errors.  For example if the job tried to triggered a SAS code using %include and the file was not available the log message was:              warning: WARNING: Physical file does not exist, .             error: ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file TEST99. but the job status was "Successful".    I'm wondering if there is a logical explanation for this, or it is a bug?   Thank you, smm662002   ...
