814 Using TIME and TIMESTAMP 4 Chapter 28proc print data=prt.ORD;var name number;by name number;run;The above statement always yields identical ordering because every column isspecified in the BY clause. So your PROC PRINT output always looks the same.Using TIME and TIMESTAMPThis example creates a Teradata table and assigns the SAS TIME8. format to theTRXTIME0 column. Teradata creates the TRXTIME0 column as the equivalentTeradata data type, TIME(0), with the value of 12:30:55.libname mylib teradata user=testuser password=testpass;data mylib.trxtimes;format trxtime0 time8.;trxtime0 = ’12:30:55’t;run;This example creates a Teradata column that specifies very precise time values. Theformat TIME(5) is specified for the TRXTIME5 column. When SAS reads this column,it assigns the equivalent SAS format TIME14.5.libname mylib teradata user=testuser password=testpass;proc sql noerrorstop;connect to teradata (user=testuser password=testpass);execute (create table trxtimes (trxtime5 time(5))) by teradata;execute (commit) by teradata;execute (insert into trxtimesvalues (cast(’12:12:12’ as time(5)))) by teradata;execute (commit) by teradata;quit;/* You can print the value that is read with SAS/ACCESS. */proc print data =mylib.trxtimes;run;SAS might not preserve more than four digits of fractional precision for TeradataTIMESTAMP.This next example creates a Teradata table and specifies a simple timestamp columnwith no digits of precision. Teradata stores the value 2000-01-01 00:00:00. SAS assignsthe default format DATETIME19. to the TRSTAMP0 column generating thecorresponding SAS value of 01JAN2000:00:00:00.proc sql noerrorstop;connect to teradata (user=testuser password=testpass);execute (create table stamps (tstamp0 timestamp(0))) by teradata;execute (commit) by teradata;execute (insert into stampsvalues (cast(’2000--01--01 00:00:00’ as
