SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES

Problem Note 65453: The message "ERROR: Variable not found" occurs when you change the case of a column name using the alterTable CAS action

If you change the case of a column name using the alterTable CAS action, the following error might occur:

ERROR: Variable not found

A workaround is to change the column name in two steps, using an intermediate column name, as shown in the following example:

table.alterTable /

caslib="mycaslib"

columns={

  {name="columnName1",RENAME="c1"},

  {name="c1",RENAME="COLUMNNAME1"}

}

table="mytable";
