title: SAS reading bit data type in sql server 2005
body: <p>I have a sql server 2005 database that has a table with a column of data type bit.  When I look at the data in sql server management studio I see the column value as 0 or 1, when i pull with SAS I see 0 or -1, is like SAS is negating the 1 value.  Anyone have an explanation for this?  Thanks.</p>
