Problem Note 67533: SAS® Health: Cohort Builder 2.1 - Data storage and memory improvements are made in support of large table fields of type CHAR
 |  |  |  |  |
Several SAS Health: Cohort Builder 2.1 tables contain very large fields of type CHAR.
Changing the type of these large fields from CHAR to VARCHAR reduces the amount of memory required for the table and also reduces the physical size of the related SASHDAT table.
The large field type change to VARCHAR is implemented beginning with SAS® Health: Cohort Builder 2.1.1.
