Hi All
I registered an Oracle table in metadata, then made a change to the table (modified a numeric column size from 10 to 15) and then tried to update the table metadata, but got this error:
ERROR: Invalid or missing "Delimiter" or "DefaultValue" attribute value from Property object with "UseValueOnly" attribute set to
FALSE. Metadata incorrect.
I have no idea what it means, has anyone encountered this error before?
Thanks!
Hi
The field is defined in Oracle as NUMBER (10). When the table metadata is registered, the data type is indeed integer, but a format and informat of 11. is applied. So when the field is modified to NUMBER (15), the format and informat will be changed to 16., and I need to test the impact of this in SAS jobs
Exactly! No problems with the eventual result but it is messy and I don't like it lol. So I think it has more to do with the Oracle schema I used to do the test, worked perfectly when I used a different schema. Don't know why and am not even going to try and figure it out. I manged to do what I wanted to do 🙂
Thanks!
