Here is the code-

proc sql;
connect to teradata as tera1 (user="xxxxxx" password="xxxxxxx" server="xxxxx"
tpt=yes fastexport=yes);
create table mytable as
select * from connection to tera1
(select age
,entityno
,cast(segid as varchar(50)) as fbu1
,cast(profgrp_id as varchar(30)) as trnsid
,cast(accno as integer)as accno
,cast(startdt as varchar(10)) as startdt
,cast(enddt as varchar(10)) as enddt

Since the original values are in decimal format, you will need the double cast.

proc sql;
connect to teradata as tera1 (user="xxxxxx" password="xxxxxxx" server="xxxxx"
tpt=yes fastexport=yes);
create table mytable as
select * from connection to tera1
(select age
,entityno
,cast(cast(segid as format 'Z(I)') as varchar(50)) as fbu1
,cast(cast(profgrp_id as format 'Z(I)') as varchar(30)) as trnsid
,cast(accno as integer)as accno
,cast(cast(startdt as format 'Z(I)') as varchar(10)) as startdt
,cast(cast(enddt  as format 'Z(I)') as varchar(10)) as enddt
from mytable1 a
Mytabke2
where age > 15 );
disconnect from tera1;
quit;
