Hi all,
in a query, i need to have a constant character variable,
i need this variable to be $64 length (preparing it for an append)
in the wizard for creating a new column (calculated="char"), when i change the length value to 64 ,
i have an error popup : the length value is out of range, it should be between 3 and 8
i tried to get around this by using a cat or repeat ... functions, but a length of 200 is too much
its a project for non sas specialists so less code is better.
The wizard is a bit tricky.
It seems that the default is numeric output column, which explains the valid range (3-8 bytes).
Id you chose a character format, it will probably work for you.
