Problem Note 42944: Incorrect lengths are assigned for DB2 GRAPHIC and VARGRAPHIC character data types in SAS/ACCESS® 9.2 Interface to DB2 (TS2M3)
In the third maintenance release for SAS/ACCESS 9.2 Interface to DB2 (TS2M3), incorrect lengths are assigned for DB2 GRAPHIC and VARGRAPHIC data types.
This problem occurs when the data is read into a SAS® session that uses a single-byte character set (SBCS). The length value that is assigned to the corresponding SAS character variable might be double or triple the value that is defined in DB2.
