| The LIBNAME Statement for PC Files on Microsoft Windows |
Specifies whether to force the truncation of data during insert
processing.
| Valid in: |
DATA and PROC steps (when accessing PC files
data using SAS/ACCESS software)
|
| Default value: |
NO
|
-
YES
-
specifies that the rows that contain data
values that exceed the length of the column are inserted, and the data values
are truncated to fit the column length.
-
NO
-
specifies that the rows that contain data
values that exceed the column length are not inserted.
This option determines how the SAS/ACCESS engine
handles rows that contain data values that exceed the length of the column.
The SAS data set option FORCE= overrides this option
when it is used with PROC APPEND or the PROC SQL UPDATE statement. The PROC
SQL UPDATE statement does not provide a warning before truncating the data.
