Problem Note 40438: Extremely wide data sets created on a 64-bit operating system produce incorrect or missing values on 32-bit operating systems
Incorrect or missing character data or incorrect numeric data might result when using Cross Environment Data Access (CEDA) to create or read an extremely wide data set on a 32-bit operating system when the data set was created on a 64-bit operating system. This problem is most likely to occur when the data set contains extremely wide observations where there are more than 524,287 occurrences of a given type and size of a column.
