Problem Note 10905: Data type error occurs when creating a calculated column

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
If you attempt to create a calculated column using the DECILE function
in the SAS Campaign Management component, you may receive an error
similar to the following:

  S1000: [SAS][SAS ODBC Driver][SAS Server]ERROR: Value 4 on the SELECT
  clause does not match the data type of the corresponding column

This problem occurs when the data referenced in the calculated column
expression comes from a table with an alphanumeric key.  Currently, the
DECILE function requires the table being processed to possess a numeric
key.
