AUTOSYS JOB FAILED WHILE DELETING AND INSERTING RECORD IN ORACLE

[shuchidxt_gmail_com]

I have a code to simply delete record and then insert records. I don't get any error but got a warning of 

"WARNING: Character expression will be truncated when assigned to character column LOB_CD." which should not make job to fail. 

makes failed my job. Why?

PROC SQL;
DELETE FROM xx.xx;
DELETE FROM xx.xy;

QUIT;

PROC SQL;
INSERT INTO xx.xx  SELECT * FROM ZZ.XX;
INSERT INTO XX.XY SELECT * FROM ZZ.XY;

QUIT;

On the Autosys environment the Success/ Failure criteria are defined by how you handle the sas return codes.

Typically on a Unix / Linux environment post execution this code would give you a return code 1 due to the warning.  You may handle this return code from the Shell script( in case you are using any ) to mark this job as success despite the warning.

However, I would highly recommend to correct this warning as it appears that there is a type mismatch while inserting the data from your Proc SQL Insert.
