Hello,
I am trying to extract information from Oracle database using the following command:
proc sql;
connect to odbc as hindsight (datasrc='PostgreSQL30' user=xxxxx password="xxxx");
create table value04 as
select * from connection to hindsight
(SELECT fact_event.fact_id,fact_event.region_cd,fact_event.transaction_dte,fact_event.roll_num,
fact_event.property_cd,fact_event.property_desc,fact_event.cty_mun,value_dim.value_rounded, comp_dim.value_component_id,
comp_dim.transaction_dte, comp_dim.unadjusted, comp_dim.value, comp_dim.valuation_type, comp_dim.priority,
comp_dim.property_adjusted, comp_dim.component_adjusted, comp_dim.component_id, comp_dim.building_id_number,
comp_dim.variables, comp_dim.active
FROM hindsight_3.fact_event fact_event
INNER JOIN
(SELECT roll_num, max(transaction_dte) as max_transaction_dte
FROM hindsight_3.fact_event fact_event
WHERE fact_event.event_type='CMV' and fact_event.status_cd='A'
GROUP BY roll_num) transaction_dte on fact_event.roll_num=transaction_dte.roll_num and fact_event.transaction_dte=transaction_dte.max_transaction_dte
LEFT JOIN hindsight_3.property_dim property_dim ON fact_event.fact_id = property_dim.fact_id
LEFT JOIN hindsight_3.value_component_dim comp_dim ON fact_event.fact_id = comp_dim.fact_id
LEFT JOIN hindsight_3.value_dim value_dim ON fact_event.fact_id = value_dim.fact_id
WHERE ((substring(fact_event.region_cd,1,1) = '0' and substring(fact_event.region_cd,2,1) = '04') or fact_event.region_cd = '04')
and fact_event.event_type='CMV' and fact_event.status_cd='A' and property_dim.status_cd='A'
ORDER BY fact_event.roll_num);
quit;
run;
When I checked the "variables" column the data length is set to 1024 characters only whereas the original length of the variable is 65535.
Can you please let me know how to extract the complete "variables" column?
Thank you,
Ave

First of all, you won't be able to conserve the whole length, because the maximum length for a SAS character variable is 32767.
So it's either that SAS sees that the variable is too long and sets 1024 on it's own, or it might be that ODBC itself or the Oracle ODBC driver has a 1024 character limit.
