    <title>topic DB2 issue with formats in SAS Data Management</title>
    <link>https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/DB2-issue-with-formats/m-p/268763#M7461</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;HI All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have a DB2 library defined in metadata and a table has various columns defined with a CCSID format at the database side. The columns are registered in metadata with the format &amp;amp; informat of $HEX80. and we are able to convert these to proper text using the input function: C_ALTERNATE_N_A_LINE_1 = input(ALTERNATE_N_A_LINE_1,$EBCDIC40.); however, we wanted to do this at SMC level to prevent users having to write a coded workaround. Do you know if its possible to do this? We have tried various formats &amp;amp; informats but cannot get the data to display proper text without having to code the workaround.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
