Attributes defined in SAS Management Console on a database management system (DBMS) table might not be present in newly created SAS data sets when the following conditions exist:

• You are accessing a DBMS table via a LIBNAME engine through the META engine
• The query triggers implicit pass-through processing

The attributes that might not appear in the SAS data set are as follows:

• FORMAT
• INFORMAT
• LABEL

To work around this issue, either pre-assign the library rather than using the META engine or add the appropriate column modifiers in the query.
