SAS/ACCESS 9.2 for Relational Databases: Reference, Fourth Edition

The LIBNAME Statement for Relational Databases 4 DBCLIENT_MAX_BYTES= LIBNAME Option 119DBCLIENT_MAX_BYTES= LIBNAME OptionSpecifies the maximum number of bytes per single character in the database client encoding,which matches SAS encoding.Default value: always set to match the maximum bytes per single character of SASsession encoding (see “Details”)Valid in: SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statementDBMS support: OracleSyntaxDBCLIENT_MAX_BYTES=max-client-bytesDetailsUse this option as the multiplying factor to adjust column lengths for CHAR andNCHAR columns for client encoding. In most cases, you need not set this optionbecause the default is sufficient.ExamplesThis example uses default values for all options.libname x1 &engine &connoptproc contents data=x1.char_sem; run;proc contents data=x1.nchar_sem; run;proc contents data=x1.byte_sem; run;proc contents data=x1.mixed_sem; run;In this example, various options have different settings.libname x5 &engine &connopt ADJUST_NCHAR_COLUMN_LENGTHS=NOADJUST_BYTE_SEMANTIC_COLUMN_LENGTHS=NO DBCLIENT_MAX_BYTES=3;proc contents data=x5.char_sem; run;proc contents data=x5.nchar_sem; run;proc contents data=x5.byte_sem; run;proc contents data=x5.mixed_sem; run;This example also uses different settings for the various options.libname x6 &engine &connopt ADJUST_BYTE_SEMANTIC_COLUMN_LENGTHS=YESADJUST_NCHAR_COLUMN_LENGTHS=YES DBCLIENT_MAX_BYTES=3;proc contents data=x6.char_sem; run;proc contents data=x6.nchar_sem; run;proc contents data=x6.byte_sem; run;proc contents data=x6.mixed_sem; run;
