Passing SAS Functions to Aster nCluster

SAS/ACCESS Interface to Aster nCluster passes the following SAS functions to Aster nCluster for processing. Where the Aster nCluster function name differs from the SAS function name, the Aster nCluster name appears in parentheses. For more information, see Passing Functions to the DBMS Using PROC SQL.
ABS MAX
ARCOS (ACOS) MIN
ARSIN (ASIN) MLOWCASE (lower)INUTE (date_part)
ATAN MOD
ATAN2 MONTH (date_part)
AVG QTR (date_part)
BYTE (chr) REPEAT
CEIL (ceiling) SIGN
COALESCE SIN
COS SQRT
COUNT STRIP (btrim)
DAY (date_part) SUBSTR (substring)
EXP SUM
FLOOR TAN
HOUR (date_part) TRANWRD (replace)
INDEX (strpos) TRIMN (rtrim)
LOG (ln) UPCASE (upper)
LOG10 (log) YEAR (date_part)
SQL_FUNCTIONS= ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly different behavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down to the database. Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the SAS/ACCESS engine also pass these SAS SQL functions to Aster nCluster. Due to incompatibility in date and time functions between Aster nCluster and SAS, Aster nCluster might not process them correctly. Check your results to determine whether these functions are working as expected. For more information, see SQL_FUNCTIONS= LIBNAME Option.
