Specifies data types(s) to override the default ODBC data type(s) when SAS outputs data to DBMS tables through ODBC.

Default value: The default type for SAS character variables is SQL_VARCHAR(size) which corresponds to the DBMS data type for variable length character data. Size is derived from the length of the SAS variable. The default for SAS numeric variables is SQL_DOUBLE, which corresponds to the DBMS data type for a double numeric value.
