15269 - Cannot create SQL Server table if LIBNAME option IGNORE_READ_ONLY

Problem Note 15269: Cannot create SQL Server table if LIBNAME option IGNORE_READ_ONLY_COLUMNS=YES is set

Attempting to create a SQL Server table using the SAS^® SQLSVR LIBNAME engine will fail if the LIBNAME option IGNORE_READ_ONLY_COLUMNS=YES is set.

The error received will be similar to:

   ERROR:  CLI prepare error: [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
           Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ')'. : [DataDirect]
           [ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be
           prepared.

The workaround for this issue is to remove the LIBNAME option when attempting to create tables.
