Hey
I have problem with this variale.

 

I want to use a transformation in Data stadio to automate loading til MS SQL with long table names.

 

I get this error.

ERROR: CLI execute error: [SAS][ODBC 20101 driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Invalid object name '[Mellemkommunal Odense$OSR Vendor
No_]'.
 

The problem is single quote, when i am using the variable. 

then i write the table name in the cod

execute (
delete
from [Mellemkommunal Odense$OSR Vendor No_]

No problems.

 

Any suggestion

 

LIBNAME xpophona BASE "!SAS_DATA/6_eksport/opholdsbetaling_navision/data";


/* Access the data for EXT Opholdsbetaling Navision Write odbc  */ 
LIBNAME x_ophnaw ODBC  DATAsrc=EXT_Opholdsbetaling_Navision_W  SCHEMA=dbo ;
/* code options in the transformation*/
%let SQL_table =%nrqoute([Mellemkommunal Odense$OSR Vendor No_]); /*automatic generated by the transformation*/
%let SQL_columns = %nrquote([VAT Registration No_],[OSR Vendor No_],[OSR Vendor Name],[B-Taxable]);/*automatic generated by the transformation*/

--------------------------------------------------------*/
/*1) Def. of variables                                                                          */
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
%put &=SQL_table;
%put &=SQL_columns;

proc sql;
	connect to odbc (DATAsrc=EXT_Opholdsbetaling_Navision AUTHDOMAIN="AuthDom MSSQL sasbatch");

	execute (
			delete	   
			from "&SQL_table"
			)
			by odbc;
disconnect to odbc;
quit;

1) Try libname 's option preserve_table_name=yes
2) Let DB create a view to correct this >32 table name ?

hey

 

1) 

preserve_tab_names=yes

I have the same problem.

 

2) It is not an option , bacause tablename is defined by Microsoft Business Central.

help
