The following error messages occur when you issue a LIBNAME statement to SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata 9.1.3 Service Pack 4 to access a Teradata database when the Teradata TTU 8.2 client is installed.

ERROR: Default database could not be determined.  Reissue your statement with the DATABASE= option.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

These error messages are produced when you issue a LIBNAME statement such as the following example:

libname mafstdat teradata  server=server-name  
        schema=schema-name user=tduser password=password;

The SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata 9.1.3 Service Pack 4 LIBNAME statement issues a "help session" request, which causes the Teradata client to build an OPTIONS parcel for sending to the database.

The parcel that is generated by the Teradata client has non-zero values for fields that the database expects to be zeros.

SAS has no control over the parcels that are built by the Teradata client.

This issue is planned to be resolved in an upcoming SAS release.
