Within SAS Data Integration Studio, automatic mappings are disabled for a job. A transformation has defined source columns and defined target columns.

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

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

Aw, man, you know SAS is gonna be all up in your business about that length mismatch. Option D all the way, no doubt about it. It's like your grandma telling you to wear a sweater - you can ignore her, but she's still gonna give you that look.

D is the winner here. SAS is all about that data integrity, so it's not gonna let you just slide on a length mismatch. But hey, at least it's still gonna let you map the columns, even if it's gonna throw a warning your way.

Gotta go with D, my dude. SAS ain't gonna be happy about that length difference, but it'll still let you map the columns. Probably gonna give you a warning, though, just to keep you on your toes.

The COLI columns are successfully mapped, one-to-one, but a warning occurs. That's a no-brainer! SAS ain't gonna let you just ignore length differences like that.
