| LIBNAME Statement: PC Files on Linux, UNIX, and 64-Bit Microsoft Windows |
Specifies whether to force the truncation of data during insert
processing.
| Valid in: |
DATA and PROC steps
|
| Default value: |
NO
|
- YES
-
specifies that the rows that contain data values that exceed
the length of the column are inserted, and the data values are truncated to
fit the column length.
- NO
-
specifies that the rows that contain data values that exceed
the column length are not inserted.
This option determines how the SAS/ACCESS engine
handles rows that contain data values that exceed the length of the column.
The SAS data set option FORCE= overrides this option when it is used
with PROC APPEND or the PROC SQL UPDATE statement. The PROC SQL UPDATE statement
does not provide a warning before truncating the data.
