SAS Stored Processes that are exposed as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web Services and invoked using SAS BI Web Services in the SAS^® 9.4M8 (TS1M8) release fail to provide expected results. As a result, one or more of the following symptoms might occur depending on how you access the SAS Web Service:

• The following exception is returned if input streams are defined for the SAS Stored Process:

org.apache.axiom.core.stream.StreamException: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected EOF in prolog. 

• ERROR: An error occurred: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object, has been updated.

Failure to maintain the namespace throughout the request is the root cause of the issue.
