Problem Note 48297: An implicit pass-through query to Netezza does not appear when the SASTRACE= option is enabled
 |  |  |  |
When an implicit pass-through query is submitted to Netezza, the query might not appear in the log if the SASTRACE= option is enabled.
For example, you might use the following SASTRACE= option to see the SQL code that is being passed to the database:
options sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog;
If your SAS® software is run in a UTF-8 session, it has to convert the SQL code to be passed to Netezza into UCS-2 Unicode. UCS-2 is a 2-byte Unicode, and, for most Latin characters, 1 of those bytes is NULL.
Then, when SAS tries to print out the implicit pass-through SQL, the NULL byte in the first UCS-2 character is interpreted as the NULL terminator, so only that character is printed.
In the trace, the message might appear as follows:
NETEZZA_1: Prepared: on connection 0
S
The S on the second line should be SELECT.
