Any suggestion for this question?

 

PROC SQL;

Connect to odbc(authdomain='sql_auth' datasrc='SQLA');
CREATE TABLE MY.test AS  
SELECT * FROM CONNECTION TO odbc(

select
 A.Location_Id,
 A.Location_Name   
   
from  Location A
Where Active = 1

);
QUIT;

 

Result -

 

Location_IdLocation_Name
 FL
 OH
 IL
 HI
 CO

 

How can I see the value of Location ID which is stored in Hex format?

Try this and see results in SAS

 

PROC SQL;

Connect to odbc(authdomain='sql_auth' datasrc='SQLA');
CREATE TABLE MY.test AS  
SELECT * FROM CONNECTION TO odbc(

select
 CONVERT(INT,A.Location_Id) as Location_Id,
 A.Location_Name   
   
from  Location A
Where Active = 1

);
QUIT;

Thanks,

Hi,

 

Which database are you connecting to? Since your using Pass-Through query use DBMS specific function to convert the values before reading them into SAS.

Eg: CONVERT(INT,0xFFFFF) in Microsoft SQL Server

I got someting back, but I'm expecting something like 0x000000000000001B, instead of 53, 54, 57.

 

Any idea?

Convert the Hexa to Char in database. Something like VARCHAR(MAX) instead of INT
