Question #: 79
Topic #: 12

Within SAS Data Integration Studio, automatic mappings are disabled for a job. A transformation has defined source columns and defined target columns. One of the source columns, named COLI, is character with a length of 50. One of the target columns, named COLI, is also character but of length 25. What will happen if the COLI columns are mapped?

AThe COLI columns are successfully mapped, one-to-one, with no warnings.

BThe COLI columns are not mapped because the lengths are different.

CThe COLI columns are mapped but an expression is defined for the target COLI that uses a generic specification of the LENGTH function.

DThe COLI columns are successfully mapped, one-to-one, but a warning occurs.

I bet the real-life equivalent of this question would be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Good luck with that one!

I wonder if the system will automatically adjust the length of the target column.

Wait, so the COLI column has the same name but different lengths? That's just confusing. No wonder this question is so tough!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option C sounds like it could be the right answer, with an expression defined to handle the length difference.

Option B seems more likely to me. The lengths are different, so the COLI columns shouldn't be mapped at all.

I think option D is the correct answer. The COLI columns will be mapped one-to-one, but a warning will occur due to the length difference.
