Problem Note 52327: SQL procedure code that used to work properly now leads to issues such as missing table columns, incorrect results, or an incorrect query being passed

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

SQL procedure code that used to work might not work properly after you apply Hot Fix I22068. The following issues might occur:

  • The resulting table might contain fewer columns. This might occur when the query contains the following:
    • A column that is being selected twice, but only one is given a new name
    • a WHERE clause
    • an ORDER BY clause

    The original column name does not appear in the resulting data set. Only the renamed variable appears, along with other variables that appeared in the SELECT clause. To work around this issue, give the first variable a new name, even if it is the same name. For example: select ssn as ssn, ssn as studentid


  • Incorrect results might occur. This might occur when the query contains the following:
    • An SQL view is created where a column is renamed
    • A second view created where the view with the renamed column is joined with a table and the renamed variable is selected with a LENGTH= modifier
    • A third query that references the second view and includes a WHERE clause subsetting on the same variable
    • There is no workaround for this issue.

  • An incorrect query is passed to the database, SASTRACE output showing a truncated query being passed and SQLPLAN errors. This might occur when the query contains the following:
    • A join of 2 DBMS tables
    • A WHERE clause that includes a SAS® function that is not passed to the database
    • A GROUP BY clause that includes a variable that is created by the function that is not passed to the database
    • There is no workaround for this issue.
