specifies a data source
data type. See the documentation for your SAS/ACCESS interface for
the default data types for your data source.
Details
By default, SAS/ACCESS
converts each SAS data type to a predetermined data source data type
when it writes data to your data source. When you need a different
data type, use DBTYPE= to override the default data type chosen by
the SAS/ACCESS engine.
Example: Specify the Data Type to Use
DBTYPE= specifies the
data types that are used when you create columns in the table.
DATA mydblib.newdept(dbtype=(deptno='double' city='char(25)'));
SET mydblib.dept;
RUN;
