Why am I not able to see all data elements?

Posted 02-05-2019 11:22 PM (775 views)

I'm working w/SAS EG 7.4 and querying from a large data table with hundreds of data columns. Numerous times I've been unable to locate a specific data variable and yet a co-worker  - also using SAS EG - is able to open up table and find the variable. Are there limitations?

 

He mentioned something in regards to implicit / explicit pass through but I'm not well versed on the technical aspects.

 

Any assistance appreciated.

Pass-through points to an external database system that you connect to.

Maybe your DB user has different permissions there than the one of your co-worker.

 

How exactly are you accessing the table?
