Usage Note 13172: "Warning: During insert: Fractional truncation (null)" when loading SAS
data set to MSAccess table using LIBNAME engine for ODBC
After assigning a LIBNAME with the ODBC engine to a MS Access database
file, a DATA Step can be used to write a SAS data set to a new table in
the MS Access database.
libname mylib odbc dsn="MSAccess Database";
data mylib.newtable;
set work.test;
run;
If the following message is returned:
WARNING: During insert: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access
Driver]Fractional truncation (null)
compare the offending variable format to the underlying data values.
If the two do not match, the warning is issued to let the user know
that some of the data values may be truncated.
For example, a variable is formatted as 8., but some of the underlying
data has decimal values:
64.124374
186.158218
76.504425
64.698112
The user will need to decide how to handle these values, either as
truncated to integers (as the format is) or apply a format that will
preseve the fractional values.
