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.
