Hi All,
I'm copying one table from Teradata to the same location and I get the error below:
LIBNAME TD TERADATA SERVER=*** DATABASE=***;
Data TD.test1;
set TD.log;
Run;
ERROR: Error attempting to CREATE a DBMS table. ERROR: Teradata execute: Length 0 is not allowed for a CHAR, VARCHAR, BYTE, VARBYTE
column..
ERROR: ROLLBACK issued due to errors for data set TD.TEST1.DATA.
What's the possible reason for this? Thank you!

Additionally to what @kiranv_ wrote: Don't use a SAS data step to replicate a DBMS table. Using a SAS data step will most likely result in SAS first pulling all the data from the DB into SAS and then creating the new table and re-loading the data back to the DBMS.
Best use PROC SQL or eventually PROC APPEND.
If it would be me then I'd use explicit pass-through SQL for such operations.
do you have any character column with value of '' which is allowed in SAS but not allowed in Teradata after Teradata 14
