specifies a data source column name.

TIME.
By default, SAS/ACCESS converts
each data source data type to a SAS data type during input processing. When
you need a different data type, you can use this option to assign a SAS data
type to each specified data source column. Some conversions might not be supported.
If a conversion is not supported, SAS prints an error to the log.
