Problem Note 43897: Informats and formats might be retained across columns when added using the XML Mapper
If you add an informat or a format for a column in the SAS® 9.2 version of the XML Mapper and then go to the next column and add a different format or informat, the format or informat from the previous column is retained. If you view the Map file generated within the XML Mapper, the source shows that the same format or informat for the columns was used.
There is currently no circumvention for this problem.
