Moving a SAS^® Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) table that contains VARCHAR variables to a SAS data set can result in data from one column being moved to another column. 

This problem happens when a column with missing data is next to a VARCHAR variable. After the table is moved, the values from the VARCHAR variable become the values of the previously missing values in the adjacent variable.
