Problem Note 12049: Range of output observations may be contrary to the documentation when
TO= option is specified without the FROM= option
The first output value is incorrectly omitted from the OUT= data set
whenever all of the following conditions hold:
1. The TO= option specifies either an interval longer than one day
(if the ID variable is a SAS date variable) or an interval longer than
one second (if the ID variable is a SAS datetime variable).
2. The FROM= option is not specified.
3. The interval between the first two observations in the input data
is either one day (if the ID variable is a SAS date variable) or one
second (if the ID variable is a SAS datetime variable).
To circumvent the problem, use PROC EXPAND to convert to a frequency at
least as high as the interval between the first two input observations.
Then invoke PROC EXPAND again to convert the higher frequency series to
the desired TO= frequency.
