APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
On Information Server running on 64 bit platforms, while reading a SAS table number field as integer using the SAS operator gives the result as null even though the value is not null in SAS. This works fine on the 32 bit versions such as DS 7.5 and IS 8.0.1 or on IS 8.1/IS 8.5 running on Linux 32 bit.
Local fix
Problem summary
On Information Server running on 64 bit platforms, reading a SAS table number field as integer gives the result null even though the value is not null in SAS.
Problem conclusion
The comparision between the source and the target values is giving incorrect results because of mismatch in the data types. The same has been corrected.
Temporary fix
Change the Integer type to Numeric in the job while reading the SAS datasets.
