- column-name
-
specifies a data source column name.
- SAS data-type
-
specifies a SAS data type. SAS data types include CHAR(n), NUMERIC, DATETIME, DATE,
TIME.
By default, SAS/ACCESS converts
each data source data type to a SAS data type during input processing. When
you need a different data type, you can use this option to assign a SAS data
type to each specified data source column. Some conversions might not be supported.
If a conversion is not supported, SAS prints an error to the log.
