Hi everyone,   I would like to have your help in an issue i'm having right now...   In some SAS DIS development i changed the properties of columns of a dataset and propagated in the following transformations into the target datasets. So in one transformation i have the error "variable has been defined as both character and numeric". After some analysis i got the problem, in DIS everything is perfect, all datasets with the right definitions os types, but through SAS Guide i figure it out that the physical dataset is still with the previous definitions.    Because i don't get still very well this connection of metadata and physical contents of datasets, i don't know how to correct the physical properties in this case. Can you help me?   And so that i can learn this issue, there's a paper or support SAS site explaining this matter? for example, how can i update metadata properties from physical, and the reverse, how can i update physical properties from metadata.   I hope i'm putting the problem correctly 🙂   Thank you! ...
