Problem Note 52753: The UPCASE function used in PROC SQL UPDATE might not work properly if you are using SAS/ACCESS® Interface to OLE DB
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use a PROC SQL UPDATE statement on a database management table accessed via the OLEDB LIBNAME engine, rows that should be updated might not be updated. This issue might occur when your WHERE clause includes a function that does not get passed to the database. The UPCASE function is a good example.
update test.class
set age=15
where update(name)='ALFRED';
quit;
Instead of the database processing the WHERE clause, SAS does the processing. The data read in from the database is not transcoded correctly, resulting in matches not being found. As a result, the data is not updated as it should be.
A potential workaround for this issue is to use the LIBNAME option SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL. This workaround results in additional SAS functions being passed down to the database.
