The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Asked by LuckyLucks in SAS

I need to assign as parameter values to DB2 date fields sas macro values. This gives me the following error :

CLI describe error: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/6000] SQL0401N The data types of the operands for the operation "=" are not
compatible. SQLSTATE=42818
NOTE: PROC SQL set option NOEXEC and will continue to check the syntax of statements.

The values expected are year='2009' and month='09'

Databse info:
DB name: ABC
Schema : Product
Macro file stores the userid and password and they are correctly assigned as per logs.

------

%macro todayPlusAsDateObj(numIntervals, intervals);
%sysfunc(intnx(&intervals, %sysfunc(today()), &numIntervals))
%mend todayPlusAsDateObj;

%LET MonthObj = %todayPlusAsDateObj(-2,month);
%LET USERID=&_USERID;
%LET PASSWORD= &_PASS;

PROC SQL INOBS=1;
CONNECT TO DB2 (DATABASE=ABC USER=&USERID USING=&PASSWORD);
CREATE TABLE DEV.TEST AS SELECT * FROM CONNECTION TO DB2
(SELECT TIME_KEY AS KEY
FROM PRODUCT.TIME_D
WHERE CALENDAR_YEAR='YEAR(&MonthObj)' and MTH_NO='MONTH(&MonthObj)' and PERIOD_TYPE = 'MONTH');
DISCONNECT FROM DB2;
QUIT;

SET DEV.INFO;
CALL SYMPUT("key", KEY);
