After loading a 16-digit numerical variable into Oracle, the last character is replaced with 0.

Thanks for your quick reply! I agree that I would be having this problem with a character ID but for now I just have to live with it. I'll start a new (and more accurate) thread about the issue if it doesn't resolve soon otherwise.

This is not an issue but just how things work with SAS9.4. If you want to load more than 15 digits with full precision then you need to load them as a character variable and then cast the string on the database side to a numerical value. 

Consider loading the data into a temporary table first or eventually loading the data via a view that does the casting.

Please create a new question if above doesn't already answer what you need to know.
