The SUPPORTRANGE documentation is incorrect for the PATHING procedure Sequence Pathing action


The PROC PATHING documentation incorrectly states that the SUPPORTRANGE= option accepts integer values in the range[1, INT32_MAX]. However, product behavior and runtime testing demonstrate that the parameter is actually interpreted as a support ratio with valid values in the range[0,1]. 

This documentation discrepancy might cause the following to occur:

ERROR: Value 2 was found for parameter 'minSupport', but the parameter must be less than or equal to 1. 

Workaround

To work around this issue, change SUPPORTRANGE to Range: [0,1].

A documentation correction scheduled for the SAS® Viya® 2026.08 release.
