In SAS^® Viya^® 3.x, PROC SOAP in SAS^® Studio generates no results on the first submission. On the second submission, the following error is generated:

ERROR: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sas.tk.tkwsc.SoapThread

From a batch submission, PROC SOAP generates the following error:

ERROR: The Java picklist property is not specified.

The workaround is to recode by using the HTTP procedure. The Full Code section shows the sample PROC SOAP code that is recoded into PROC HTTP syntax.
