Datatype mismatch converting SAS numeric to Teradata BIGINT -

i have sas dataset numeric variable acct_id (among other fields). attributes in proc contents are:

#    variable                 type    len    format    informat    label 1    acct_id                  num       8    19.       19.         acct_id 

i know field doesn't have non-integer values in it, want store bigint in teradata, , i've specified dbtype data set option this:

data td.output(dbtype=(acct_id="bigint", <etc etc>)); 

however, gives following error:

error: datatype mismatch column: acct_id. 

there no missing or non-integer values in field, , error persists if round acct_id using round(acct_id, 1) explicitly remove floating point values could exist.

strangely enough, no error given if assign decimal(18,0) in teradata rather bigint. guess 1 workaround, i'd understand how can create integer fields in teradata sas numeric variables given sas doesn't distinguish types between integer , floating point.

sas not support bigint datatype. see http://support.sas.com/kb/34/729.html.

teradata's bigint data type not supported in sas/access interface teradata. cannot read or update table containing column bigint data type in sas/access interface teradata. attempting generates following error message:

error: @ least 1 of columns in dbms table has datatype not supported engine.
