Problem Note 59621: SAS® formats are mistaken as unknown user-defined formats by the SAS® Scalable Performance Data Server views

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When you submit SQL pass-through expressions that contain a SAS format and references, a SAS SPD Server view causes SAS to fail with a format error.

The following code replicates the issue.

libname test sasspds 'domain' server=spdsmachine.port user='anonymous';
data temp;
value1=10.5;
output;
run: proc SQL;
connect to sasspds(dbq='domain' server=spdsmachine.port user='anonymous');
execute(create view view1 as select put(value1,best.) from 51) by sasspds;
select * from connection to sasspds(select * from view1);
quit;

These errors are generated:

SPDS_ERROR: Format BEST SPDS_ERROR: SQL passthru expression contained errors. ERROR: SPDS Sql Passthru Error
