Problem Note 13616: RLS data set option WHERE clause might return wrong number of variables
When you use a WHERE clause as a data set option for a remote data set
(via SAS/SHARE or SAS/CONNECT), the wrong number of columns might be
returned in the resulting data set. For example, if libref RMTDATA is
assigned to a SAS/SHARE or SAS/CONNECT server via the SERVER= option,
the following data set TEST might have fewer columns than the original
remote data set DSET:
data TEST;
set RMTDATA.DSET(where= ( VAR1='str1' and VAR2='str2' and
VAR3='str3'));
run;
Here are the conditions for this issue:
* The problem occurs in SAS 9.1.3 but not in 9.1.2.
* It does not occur if the libref does not use Remote Library Services
(RLS).
* It does not occur if the WHERE clause is used in open code such as
the following:
data TEST;
set RMTDATA.DSET;
WHERE VAR1='str1' and VAR2='str2' and VAR3='str3';
run;
A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
