proc sql insert doesnt work

[l0calh0st]

Hello!

I am using SAS EG 8.3, and now I am having troubles with inserting values into table in external server.

proc sql;
insert into rsk_cbs.FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP
select * from FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP_WORK;
run;

It says that 

NOTE: 130 rows were inserted into RSK_CBS.FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP.

but it didn't. why could this happen?

[Kurt_Bremser]

Please run this code:

proc sql;
select nobs from dictionary.tables
where libname = "RSK_CBS" and memname = "FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP";
quit;

proc sql;
insert into rsk_cbs.FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP
select * from FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP_WORK;
run;

proc sql;
select nobs from dictionary.tables
where libname = "RSK_CBS" and memname = "FOR_FINAL_SPR_REP";
quit;

and post both the log and the output.

So you have table names in your DBMS that do not conform to rules for SAS names; this may cause that you insert your observations into a another table than the one you look at.

How did you verify that the obs were not inserted in the first place?

I inserted data for specific day, and those observations for that day are empty

So it DID insert observations, but with missing values (apart from the date)?
