You cannot open attachments migrated from SAS® Anti-Money Laundering 7.1 to SAS® Anti-Money Laundering 8.3 via the 'aml_71_job_migrate_comment' job


Some attachments migrated from SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1 to SAS Anti-Money Laundering 8.3 via the out-of-the-box 'aml_71_job_migrate_comment.sas' SAS job might get corrupted. As a result, you are unable to open the file, or a ZIP file contains missing files.

The file corruption is caused by the missing recfm=N SAS option in the filename statements used in the 'aml_71_attachment_upload.sas' SAS macro code called from the 'aml_71_job_migrate_comment' SAS job.

Workaround

To circumvent this issue, modify the following filename statements by adding the RECFM=N option:

filename src &attachment_src_full_nm lrecl=&attachment_size;

filename target filesrvc folderpath="&target_folder"
                         filename="%sysfunc(uuidgen())"
                         lrecl=&attachment_size;
