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
from mytable1 a

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;
