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_Id | Location_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;
put(v1_hex||v2_hex, $hex8.) as
v1v2_char
Thank you for your help!
However, it doesn't work for me...... 😞
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
Us odbc connect to SQL database

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
