error in log
ERROR: CLI execute error: [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot find the object "monthlydata" because it does not
exist or you do not have permissions.
when I check the sqlsvr side the monthlydata table exists.
Did you check if you have the permissions to truncate the table and have you checked if you can query on that table?
I checked the table is there. I queried the table also Hima.

And you have the required permissions to perform a truncate on the table?
This is the problem with permission . I beleive this user in coonection does not have that permission for DDL. (truncate).
I can delete table, drop table from SAS side. Why not truncate?
yeah..u will be having access to delete or drop a table from SAS side, but when u r trying to connect to external data base (sqlserver). you might not be having access to truncate a table or delete a table. only DBA's or database developers will be having access to truncate or delete the table.
