HI.

 

perhaps someone can help.  I have a large .sas program that generates an error at this particular part of the code when I run directly on our unix server, but when I run the same piece of code in EG, I have no issue and my output creates as expected.  So.. I'm assuming that this statement is interpreted differently as .egp.. and therefor I need to use some sort of unix syntax equivilant?

 

this is my code 

 

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE work.CustRespChanPlatALLGFGB AS
SELECT DISTINCT

compress(t1.Source_ID || put(t1.'WEB ORDER ID'n,best.)) as SrcAndWebNbr
,t1.'ORDER #'n as OrderNumber
,t1.'MASTER CHANNEL'n as MasterChannel
FROM
ADS.CUST_RESP_CHAN_PLAT_ALLGFGB t1
;
QUIT;

 

these are the errors I get:

 

ERROR: Column WEB ORDER ID could not be found in the table/view identified with the correlation name T1.
ERROR: Column ORDER # could not be found in the table/view identified with the correlation name T1.
ERROR: Column MASTER CHANNEL could not be found in the table/view identified with the correlation name T1.
ERROR: Numeric format BEST in PUT function requires a numeric argument.

 

 

I have attached the source table specs so that you can see what the input table contains.

 

 

Any help or advice would be truly appreciated.
