Change data type
Change data type
Hi is it safe to change the data type of a variable from numeric to alpha as long as the data length remains the same? In this case data would have been entered into other variables but not in the variable that I want to change.
Re: Change data type
As long as the length of the variable stays the same then changing the data type of a variable will not mess up any of the other variables and changing a variable from numeric to alpha should not cause any issues.
