Usage Note 16850: "ERROR: ORACLE execute error: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier.." occurs when you write a SAS® data set to an Oracle table
 |  |  |  |
If a SAS data set contains variable names that are Oracle reserved words, the following error is returned when you try to write that data set to an Oracle table:
ERROR: Error attempting to CREATE a DBMS table. ERROR: ORACLE execute error: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier..
To work around the problem, you must rename the variables, using names that are not Oracle reserved words. To find out the Oracle reserved words for the version of the database that you are accessing, go to the Oracle Help Center and search for "reserved words oracle."
