Outputting to SAS dataset

I just upgraded to 2018.3.5.  I have a result in a Browse tool.  I've tried 3 times to save it to a SAS dataset and each time, Alteryx crashes and I have to close the program and re-open it.  Is this a bug in the new release?

From what I can gather, the most common cause of this type of problem is variable names/unknown characters. Check you input data to make sure all your fields have simple alphanumeric names and there are no foreign or unusual characters within the data.

Thank you for your response to my question.  You're probably right about the problem being with the 'non-SAS' column names in my result.  I haven't had a chance yet to get back to that workflow and check it out.
