Hello team,

I am using below code to unload and load data in cas

 

cas casauto sessopts=(caslib="test123");

caslib mycaslib datasource=(srctype='sqlserver' user='xxxxxxx' password='xxxxxxxx' sqlserver_dsn="xxxxxxx"
schema=dbo catalog=*);

PROC CASUTIL;
droptable CASDATA="Event_calltype_analysis_rpt"
INCASLIB="test123";
QUIT;


caslib _all_ assign;
proc casutil;
load casdata="Event_calltype_analysis_rpt" incaslib="mycaslib" outcaslib="test123" casout="Event_calltype_analysis_rpt" promote;
quit;

However, I am getting below warning 

NOTE: Performing serial LoadTable action using SAS Data Connector to SQL Server.
WARNING: WARNING: [SAS][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver]Fractional truncation. Error in column 37.
 
Warning count is too much

How to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance

This typically happens because the data type does not support time fractions (milliseconds).
A workaround is to round the value to the nearest second.

@ChrisNZ  any solution to trunctate this fraction in Load statement?

If the target does not support the data type, you need to modify the source data.

Either a temporary solution that preserves the current data: create a view and upload it if that's supported,

or a permanent solution: round the values in the source table.

You might be able to compute a new variable on the fly, I've never tried that (options COMPPGM and COMPVARS, see here).
