ERROR: ORACLE execute error: ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allows for this column. The issue appears to be related to the fact that if a oracle ora-01438 which column table in Oracle contains a field defined as number(2,5), Oracle will allow the table to be created without error. However, Oracle will not allow any entry into this table if the improperly defined attribute is not null (and will only give an error when the attribute is attempted to be loaded). This is why the columns creating the error could not be found. To identify the error, put the dba entry test data into each column one at a time. Once you get the columns where the precision was greater than the field width, you are able to isolate the issue to just those columns. To resolve this problem, redefine the table. In this example, the proper definition for this field in Oracle is number(7,5). In Oracle the 7 = width of the field and the 5 is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Once the table is redefined in Oracle and in SAS, you will be able to load the table using insert table as select * from sastable
