Say, I have a source table with coumns of various data types and I want to create a second table by selecting some of those columns and changing their data types or lengths.
For example,
Thanks in advance.
proc sql;
create table myNewData as
select
input(numberStr, best.) as myNumber,
shortStr as longStr length=32
from myData;
quit;
proc sql;
create table myNewData as
select
input(numberStr, best.) as myNumber,
shortStr as longStr length=32
from myData;
quit;
Just a slight comment
You can use the same name
input(mynumber,5.) as mynumber length=4.
Thanks, figured as much.
