Somebody tell me I'm not crazy. I have SAS on a server, and I'm running the following code:
data wtf;
a=".123456 1 1";
b=input(a,anydtdtm.);
run;
If I run this on my local computer, no problem. If I run this on the server, I get:
ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information:
The SAS task name is [DATASTEP]

Does anyone else get this error???
This is an internal bug that cannot be resolved by the user. You'll need to send this information, your environment description, and the exact steps to recreate the bug over to SAS Technical Support to open up an investigation and determine a workaround.
If your server is a database not made up of .sas7bdat files, it might be due to the SAS/ACCESS engine attempting to translate the function into a way that the server's language can understand, but is unable to do so properly; that is, it might think it's doing it correctly, but it's not. There are special cases where this can occur, and you may have discovered one.
If you are in fact querying some other database, try adding this before running the data step:
options sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog;
This will show all of the steps as SAS sends data & functions to and from the server, and may help give some insight.
I am getting the same error on Linux system running SAS 9.4
AUTOMATIC SYSSCP LIN X64
AUTOMATIC SYSSCPL Linux
AUTOMATIC SYSVER 9.4
AUTOMATIC SYSVLONG 9.04.01M3P062415
AUTOMATIC SYSVLONG4 9.04.01M3P06242015
Until SAS can fix the informat you probably need to add additional testing in your code to exclude strange values like that.

I have a very strange 'reload.sql' file that I need to use to build a database.
It references about 200 XXX.dat files with straight-up readable data (although useless without explanations regarding the meaning of the fields).
I have tried msssql server, mysql workbench (on a server local-hosted on wamp), and directly accessing it through DBeaver and IBConsole, but I cannot manage to execute/build it.
It uses a weird syntax. There are elements like
begin
...
end
go
that hinted me towards T-SQL, but using sqlcmd on it gave me thousands upon thousands of errors regarding keywords.
Specifically, the very first batch of executable lines says
SET OPTION date_order = 'YMD'
go
SET OPTION PUBLIC.preserve_source_format = 'OFF'
go
SET TEMPORARY OPTION tsql_outer_joins = 'ON'
go
SET TEMPORARY OPTION st_geometry_describe_type = 'binary'
go
SET TEMPORARY OPTION st_geometry_on_invalid = 'Ignore'
go
SET TEMPORARY OPTION non_keywords = 'attach,compressed,detach,kerberos,nchar,nvarchar,refresh,varbit'
go
which generates about 150 errors 'Incorrect syntax near OPTION keyword' on its own, and according to google is part of a 'rexx' procedure but 'date_order' should then be 'DATFMT', right?
Another track is that of SyBase, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work (through my trials I did manage to build a .db file, that, well, is useless to me since I can't build it either..).
I've tried accessing it through ODBC pilots as well but none worked (the paradox ODBC did not crash, but said there was an error with a FROM clause, which are generated automatically...).
I need to know a way to build a database from this file or directly access the data it references, which I can't really post since it contains private medical data.
Also what madman came up with this.
The very first google link (for me anyway) against 'st-geometry-describe-option' shows this is a SAP SQL Anywhere database i.e. http://dcx.sybase.com/1200/en/dbadmin/st-geometry-describe-option.html
So I would suggest starting from the SQL Anywhere documentation and you will need to install the database software beforehand.
Is there a way to get around this error.
"CQO: Internal Error - Optimizer internal error. Assert:

Facing this issue while loading data from partitioned U-SQL table.
#myData =

If you encounter any system error message (or something that says Internal Error), please open a support ticket with us and/or send me your job link (if it happens on the cluster) or a self-contained smallest repro (if it is happening with local run) to usql at microsoft dot com.

UPDATE: This issue has been fixed and will be made available in the next refresh. If you are blocked, please contact me for a private runtime.
This is my PHP SQL statement and it's returning false while var dumping
$sql = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO users(full_name, e_mail, username, password) VALUES (:fullname, :email, :username, :password)');
$result = $sql->execute(array(
':fullname' => $_GET['fullname'],
':email' => $_GET['email'],
':username' => $_GET['username'],
':password' => $password_hash));
TL;DR
Always have set PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE to PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION in your PDO connection code. It will let the database tell you what the actual problem is, be it with query, server, database or whatever. Also, make sure you can see PHP errors in general.
Always replace every PHP variable in the SQL query with a question mark, and execute the query using prepared statement. It will help to avoid syntax errors of all sorts.
Explanation
Sometimes your PDO code produces an error like Call to a member function execute() or similar. Or even without any error but the query doesn't work all the same. It means that your query failed to execute.
Every time a query fails, MySQL has an error message that explains the reason. Unfortunately, by default such errors are not transferred to PHP, and all you have is a silence or a cryptic error message mentioned above. Hence it is very important to configure PHP and PDO to report you MySQL errors. And once you get the error message, it will be a no-brainer to fix the issue.
In order to get the detailed information about the problem, either put the following line in your code right after connect
$dbh->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );
(where $dbh is the name of your PDO instance variable) or - better - add this parameter as a connection option. After that all database errors will be translated into PDO exceptions which, if left alone, would act just as regular PHP errors.
After getting the error message, you have to read and comprehend it. It sounds too obvious, but learners often overlook the meaning of the error message. Yet most of time it explains the problem pretty straightforward:
Say, if it says that a particular table doesn't exist, you have to check spelling, typos, letter case. Also you have to make sure that your PHP script connects to a correct database
Or, if it says there is an error in the SQL syntax, then you have to examine your SQL. And the problem spot is right before the query part cited in the error message.
You have to also trust the error message. If it says that number of tokens doesn't match the number of bound variables then it is so. Same goes for absent tables or columns. Given the choice, whether it's your own mistake or the error message is wrong, always stick to the former. Again it sounds condescending, but hundreds of questions on this very site prove this advice extremely useful.
Note that in order to see PDO errors, you have to be able to see PHP errors in general. To do so, you have to configure PHP depends on the site environment:
on a development server it is very handy to have errors right on the screen, for which displaying errors have to be turned on:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
while on a live site, all errors have to be logged, but never shown to the client. For this, configure PHP this way:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
Note that error_reporting should be set to E_ALL all the time.
Also note that despite the common delusion, no try-catch have to be used for the error reporting. PHP will report you PDO errors already, and in a way better form. An uncaught exception is very good for development, yet if you want to show a customized error page, still don't use try catch for this, but just set a custom error handler. In a nutshell, you don't have to treat PDO errors as something special but regard them as any other error in your code.
P.S.
Sometimes there is no error but no results either. Then it means, there is no data to match your criteria. So you have to admit this fact, even if you can swear the data and the criteria are all right. They are not. You have to check them again. I've short answer that would help you to pinpoint the matching issue, Having issue with matching rows in the database using PDO. Just follow this instruction, and the linked tutorial step by step and either have your problem solved or have an answerable question for Stack Overflow.
Some time ago I had the same problem of not seeing any error messages from mysql. After a research it turned out that the problem has got nothing to do with PHP itself, but with mysql server configuration. The default value of the variable lc_messages_dir pointed to non existing directory. After adding a line in mysqld.cnf, then restarted the mysql server, and finally I was able to see the error messages. For me the following was the right one:
lc_messages_dir=/usr/share/mysql
It is described in the mysql reference manual: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/error-message-language.html
While refreshing Webi report I am getting an error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "Unexpected behavior" . (WIS 10901)
All the objects are parsing in the universe and Server is also responding. What can be the possible reason?
We are also able to run query in the database using database client tool.
If the error message appears after the a long time it might just be a timeout issue.
Else, you could try to import a version of the report that works in CMS to your local drive, rename it and run again.
It can be caused by some special character in the data combined with the fact that the server language settings do not foresee such character and therefore Business Objects cannot parse it for presentation.
If that is the case you might need to configure an environment variable of the server (like NLS_LANG) setting it to a value such that those special characters in your data can be handled by Business Objects.
In my situation, the error appera when some objet from the data base has changed or does not exists anymore. So we need to delete this object in the Universe or be sure that the field exists in the data base with the same name and type.
I had same problem with my reports. After couple hour of "investigation", I found.
I create Object in my universe, and set inappropriate type of object data Number, when value in database have type Character.
It throw me oracle Error (ORA-01722), and Bussiness Object error (WIS 10901), though SQL copied from report creator interface, executed directly on database return proper data.
I started using the system with a pre-made file called DB2.SQL. I am using this because it is what the tutorial said to use. I then edited this file and replaced the contents with my own code:
CREATE DATABASE BANKDB13 BUFFERPOOL BP0;
When I try to execute a SQL it though, I get this error:
DSNE377A INPUT DATA SET RECFM MUST BE F OR FB WTIH LRECL 80
What does this error mean and how do I correct it on the file?
I am running it with Vista TN3270 on Windows 7 over TSO, in SPUFI mode.
What I've tried so far:
When I start editing the file, I have a screen to change the defualts, and I have changed the RECORD FORMAT to F and FB as well as setting the RECORD LENGTH to 80 with no success.
EDIT:
I resolved the problem by deleting the DB2.SQL file and recreating it, and also making sure that the sizes I gave for the files were consistent with each other.
What SQL are you trying to execute on it?
The error means that the Record Format in the input data set must be either "F IXED" or "F IXED B" LOCK with a logical record length of 80.
So this is what the error means, how to correct it depends on the SQL you're running and the desired outcome.
What Tutorial is it that you refer to, do you have a link? Is this a real world problem, homework or you expanding your knowledge into mainframe DB2?
Your SQL snippet above is creating a DB, what is the INPUT DATASET file format that you are subsequently running SQL on?
