@LinusH,
Thank you for the reply. I agree that in some cases, manually would be the better scenario, as other things would also need to change (as you mentioned). However, in my case, most of the "transformations" of the data are occuring in Oracle or SQL, before the data reaches SAS. Thus, when it gets to SAS, it is a straight load to HDFS and then to LASR. So, the code/logic remains consistent. So, the "manual" way in this scenario is a bit of a pain. Maybe "manual" is the only way to do this. Like I said, I am new to SAS and I am just trying to make my processes more efficient...and, making sure that I am doing things correctly.
Thanks,
Ricky
