Char to int var

LearnByMistk — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 17:31:12 GMT

I was using proc sql case when statement on sas EG and similar code using sas access to teradata to convert char to int.

logic run on sas eg which give error as 2nd when conditon has different data type variable

so what i have

when var_cd equal '0' then 0

when var_cd equal ' ' then null

else (10- input(var_Cd,8.) end as my_var_val

Logic which worked in Teradata sas access

,cast(

case

when var_Cd is null then null

when var_Cd = '0' then null

else 10 - cast(var_Cd as byteint)

end as byteint) as var_Cd

Could anyone please elaborate how this thing process via SAS access but not in sas EG where i used simple

libname td teradata(user=&user pwd=&pwd schema=my_Schema );

Read the warnings and error messages.

equal should be eq or =

null should be .

your parentheses should be balanced

Your first code is SAS code.

Your second set of code is Teradata code, use SQL Pass Through - code is literally passed to Teradata server.

When end using a libname connection in EG you need to use SAS code.
